Curious George by Margret Rey, H.A. Rey

4.0

An early reading book, George is that curious child who mimics and tries out anything that looks interesting or engaging. To him the adult world is puzzling yet deeply interesting and his play amongst it gets him into much trouble. I really liked the illustrations throughout and can see how much of the way the writing has been set as well as framing and colour would have inspired those who came after (this book was published in 1941). As with [b:Clever Bill|1674924|Clever Bill|William Nicholson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1332391337s/1674924.jpg|1669952] much yellow is used throughout and I wonder whether this relates to printing costs. It is interesting to note that the Reys left Hamburg to escape the Nazis.
