Curious George by Margret Rey, H.A. Rey

2.0

I really like the art style and illustrations. George is super cute! But I had a hard time reading this without also reading a story of imperialism. The man in the yellow hat tricks, kidnaps, and puts George in an animal prison (okay, a zoo- but still). And every time George does something wacky, it's like "silly George- he just doesn't know any better- let the man in the yellow hat come in and save the day." It made me a bit uncomfortable. I think the current books and tv show have probably transcended this, but I'm just saying that I was not as 100% on board for this as I thought I would be.
