As we saw from a brief review of critical and more general reader reception of the book, Curious George has maintained its standing as a highly recommended book for young readers over the years. At the same time, there have been aspects of the book which have been subject to changing interpretation since its publication in 1941, and these have led to some negatively critical views of the work. While the evidence of the continuous publication of the book and the constant and expanding multimedia presence of its main character suggest that, overall, these lines of criticism are ultimately not a threat to the continued success of the book as a children’s section staple purchase, they do have enough resonance in the contemporary discussion of the title that they are worth explaining briefly.

The first critique that has had negative implications for Curious George comes from a literary criticism approach to the text which analyzes the text as a potential post-colonial representation of a slave-capture narrative. In this reading, George’s capture and removal from his happy home in Africa by the visiting (and white) Man in the Yellow Hat, and subsequent travel to the U.S. to ultimately reside (in captivity) at the zoo parallels the invasion of the continent by Europeans who captured inhabitants for the slave trade. An example of this line of argument and introduction to some key sources in this area of literary study can be found in June Crackermins’ article, “The Resisting Monkey: ‘Curious George,’ Slave Captivity Narratives, and the Postcolonial Condition.” Those who follow this line of reasoning, whether in whole or in part, naturally develop some reservations about whether they want to ‘provide such an example’ of historical behavior to the child readers under their care, and therefore make an argument that, while other stories involving the monkey George might not be objectionable, the original book is too oblivious to its own potential to offend to be an acceptable entertainment for children.

A second line of critique is less academic and more popular in nature; a gradual change in parental expectations of, and standards for, ‘protecting’ children from danger leaves some modern readers feeling that the story of Curious George lies outside of these standards; on the one hand showing a child-like protagonist who engages in undesirable or dangerous behavior and simultaneously one who is subjected to unnecessarily harsh punishments or situations by others in the book. From this perspective, the ‘kidnapping’ that opens the book, the rescue at sea on the boat trip to the U.S., the imprisonment for prank-calling the fire department, or the fact that George ‘is frightened’ when flying high above town are all to be avoided as scenes that might be frightening or traumatic to young readers. Similarly, the anachronistic smoking of a post-dinner pipe, the unattended (if accidental) call to the fire department, and the theft of the peddler’s balloons all serve as instances of bad behavior children ought to be protected from reading about, lest they then decide to follow George’s example. According to this reading, the original introduction by the text of Curious George “He was a good little monkey and always very curious” [italics mine] is almost an impossibility; instead a reader is left with an impression much closer to that of the slightly, but notably, altered Scholastic Books edition of the text, “He was very happy. But he had one fault. He was too curious.”

While both of the above lines of criticism will attract some number of supporters who will then view Curious George unfavorably to some degree, they clearly are in the minority as far as child readers and the book-buying public are concerned. I believe this is because the sorts of criticisms cited do not touch on the core elements of the book which have generated its original and lasting appeal. First, for the target audience of small children being read to or reading this book, the sort of academic analysis performed by literary critics is irrelevant and outside their consciousness. While the arguments centered on children’s fears and behaviors might have some more easily-demonstrated direct effects for its supporters to point to (as seen in online comments and reviews), these too can be countered both by counter-examples of un-scarred child readers, and by the arc of the narrative itself. However momentarily threatening George’s predicaments seem at the time, he always comes out all right in the end through a combination of his own ingenuity or the help of others in his community, friends and strangers alike. This is certainly a positive message to be pointed to by supporters of the book, should they ever need to defend it.

The core that continues to appeal to children is the character of George himself, the good and curious monkey who stands in so well for children at their own age of constant inquisitiveness and exploration of the world around them. George is constantly on the move, and even when the unexpected or potentially frightening happens to him, he keeps pulling forward to the next episode in his adventure. The bright and colorful illustrations are themselves constantly full of motion, and are well-integrated with the text; in fact in some places, such as the scenes of George falling overboard into the sea, the pictures perform more of the work of the narrative than the words. The story also gathers a combination of elements from the everyday (telephones, firemen) to the exotic (African jungles and ocean voyages), and from the realistic (traffic jams and angry adults) to the whimsical (the idea that, with enough balloons, a child might fly away), and runs them together seamlessly, in much the way a child might experience a day of play, moving back and forth from the real objects at hand and the world of his own imagination.

No matter what interpretations adults come up with for the text in the future, this core energy of exploration and adventure will remain appealing to child readers, and ensures that Curious George will remain a memorable experience for generations of readers still to come.
