That adorable rascal Curious George has been charming children and adults alike since 1941, when he and the Man in the Yellow Hat first swung onto the literary scene. But George's path to stardom was a perilous one, as fans ages 7 and (way) up will learn from the whimsically illustrated The Journey That Saved Curious George. It's the incredible true tale of George's creators, Margret and H.A. Rey, German-born Jews who narrowly escaped Nazi-occupied France in 1940, traveling on homemade bicycles and carrying only food, clothing, and the manuscripts featuring a mischievous little monkey who would make literary history.
