Curious George, that funny little monkey adored by young children and sometimes regarded with sinking feelings and "oh, no, not again" by parents - that same little monkey has a more dramatic history than most of us ever realized. Curious George actually escaped the Nazi invasion of France on bicycle with his creators Margaret and H.A. Rey in June of 1940. The story of this courageous venture is told by Louise Borden in a wonderful new biography (in the children's collection) The JourneyThat Saved Curious George. The illustrations by Allan Drummond are delightful and help to make this a book to be savoured by readers of all ages.
