A mischievous monkey and his tall, faithful friend will be in Dover, NH on Saturday, January 12 from 10 am – 2 pm.
Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat will be visiting the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire on that date to greet young fans and help promote the love of reading via the Books Alive program.
At this Books Alive event, museum staff will be reading Curious George stories by Margret and Hans “H.A.” Rey throughout the day.
The friendly costumed monkey character, accompanied by the Man with the Yellow Hat, will be popping in and out to greet children, exchange a hug or high-five, and pose for photos.
There will also be a variety of monkey-inspired literacy, math and creative activities for children in the museum’s large classroom.
The first Curious George story was published in 1941.
Margret and H.A.
Rey produced six more stories featuring the mischievous monkey, with Hans mainly doing the illustrations and Margret working mostly on the stories.
All the Curious George books, including the seven original stories by Margret and Hans, have sold over 25 million copies.
