A long time ago a little boy just had to have this monkey. All these years later George is still "in"- even as a feature exhibition in NYC. One interesting thing I just learned- George started out life as Fifi.
"The Reys never had any children themselves, though many young readers may have pledged familial allegiance. Later in life, we read, Margret Rey told of a little boy who came to meet them, thinking they were the parents of Curious George. With 'disappointment written all over his face,' the boy said, 'I thought you were monkeys too.'"
