1: A must-have for any curious monkey
Curious George fans of all ages should love this warm-hearted book about his creators and how they narrowly escaped (and rescued George!) from the Nazis coming into Paris. Their story reveals two people of great creativity, tenacity, and humor--and courage, too. This truly delightful book is packed with information and a compelling, well-researched story, cleverly written in a style similar to the original "George" books. The illustrations are fanciful and vibrant, but the pages are also enhanced by H.A. Rey's own drawings, Margret Rey's photography, and pictures of their personal ephemera in a wonderful scrapbook style. It really is a fascinating history that made me love and appreciate George all the more. It is sophisticated enough for adult readers, but approachable enough to share with grade-school children... and might prove a gentle way to introduce children to the history surrounding World War II. For any monkey still blessed to be young at heart, this is a book worth owning and sharing.

2: The true story of FIFI
This book is one of the most intersting books that i have ever read in my intire life! you will find many marvolous things about CG including that his real name is FIFI! (wich is french for curious) This book will always remain in my bedroom for as long as i live!!!! Very intersting storys about history and that time period! many intersting facts such as, you can always find a redheaded lady in CG books, because that redhead is his wife and she is always walking thier dog in the books, who they also took everywhere with them in real life.

3: The timely WWII rescue that saved Curious George for posterity
This will be a present for my nephew George's 37th birthday. He loved
Curious George as a child, and still does. It's wonderful how someone
carries a love for a childhood toy, book, etc. throughout their life.
Such an individual eternally has a special spot in their heart
Kudos to Amazon for providing the book for $5.00 under market price.
