The first Curious George book was published in 1941. When Margret and H.A. Rey fled Paris in 1940 to escape the Nazi occupation, they took with them their manuscripts for a children’s book that featured an incredibly cute, curious monkey who often found misadventure because of that curiosity. The couple ended up in New York City, where the first Curious George book was published.
