The original Curious George story was published in 1939, and between the many books and cartoons he’s starred in ever since, it’s clear that kids around the world still love the inquisitive little African monkey. Since Curious George has been around for a while, and the sweet guy hasn’t strayed too far from his roots over the years, his toys tend to be either plushies or retro-styled playthings. The good news is that while there may be fewer Curious George toys overall, the options available tend to be well-made and based on toys that have been enjoyed for generations; just like George himself.
