Today in Writing History May 16, 1906: Margaret Rey was born. Rey was an author an illustrator of children’s books. She cowrote the Curious George books with her husband H.A. Rey. Born in Germany to Jewish parents, she studied art at Bauhaus and later worked in advertising. In 1935, she fled Germany to escape the Nazis, moving to Rio de Janeiro. There she met H.A. Rey, also a German Jew who had fled the Nazis. Many of us remember the Curious George stories fondly. George was a monkey, who was kind of like an adorable little boy. Yet in every one of the stories, he does something naughty that disappoints his “daddy,” (The man in the Yellow Hat), and has to win back his affection doing something dangerous. In one story, he is exploited by a cook and must wash dishes without pay. In another, he is hired as a window washer on a skyscraper. Even his origin story is fraught, with the Yellow Hatted Man kidnapping him from his home in Africa. In this video clip, hear Werner Herzog’s take on the stories:

Have you and your communications staff ever watched @newshour, @RobWittman? This sounds like you're weaving in some verbiage to justify an attack on it and #Arthur, #Dora and #CuriousGeorge too:

Happy Whistlepig Wednesday. It's like Groundhog Day, but at the end of Summer which is from The Curious George TV Series (and also, the web series, Baby Lamb and Friends.)

Also, Paris 2024 is back again with the Paralympics! (Which is like the Olympics but for disabled people.)

I'm wondering how influential this was on the children who grew up with this book.

Sit down, Timothy Leary.
The real prime mover of 1960s drug culture was Curious George.

@Taweret @blogdiva

Yeah, doesn't that look like he's having fun?

@blogdiva @Taweret

I know I did. In one book Curious George hallucinates after sniffing ether. I told my mother I'd like to try sniffing ether. She was not happy.

Then when I was learning basics about animals, I found out that monkeys have tails, and apes don't, so from the illustrations Curious George was clearly an ape but the text always described him as a "monkey", which I found quite upsetting.

Wading into the discourse. I love children's books with animal characters.

Why I love Beastly Kids Books: Caption 1 panel 1: "Some people poo-poo the use of animal characters in kid's books. While | strongly agree that we need better human representation, animals are great too. Writers use metaphorical animals with cat burglars, top dogs, people coming out of their shells etc." a woman looks at a kid with stuffed teddy bear and says "| know you love your teddy bear but wouldn't you prefer a stuffed human instead?" Panel 2: It's a part of most cultures' important stories from Sun Wukong to Coyote, from Anansi to the Tortoise and the Hare. Non-human characters allow a variety of people to see their reflections. Two heads in the foreground look at those characters and both say "That could be me!"
