When we travelled to Boston this summer, we were excited to discover the world’s only Curious George store at Harvard Square. It is a cozy little corner shop delightfully decorated with scenes from CG's adventures, 'The Man with the Yellow Hat' and other characters from the CG series.
The shop is stocked with CG dolls, books, tee shirts, reusable bags, and a ton of other CG stuff.
Not only that, it carries non-CG branded books, toys, games, and other things. I especially loved the tee shirts based on popular book covers such as Charlotte’s Web, Make Way for Ducklings, and so on. We spent nearly an hour browsing the store. It is a wonderful place to find gifts for loved ones and, even if you don't, it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
My son has been a fan of Curious George since he was two when Grandma bought him a huggable CG doll. Six years later, he still has him by his side when he reads, watches the telly, sleeps and even when we get away for a vacation. So imagine his delight when he found a store dedicated to CG!!
Created by H.A. Rey and Margret Rey, Curious George is the main character in the CG series of books along with his friend-owner, ‘The Man with the Yellow Hat’, as he is referred to. ‘The Man with the Yellow Hat’ brings him to NYC from Africa. The stories are about CG’s adventures and discoveries. There is even a television show based on the series.
