Let's get to know the curious George Curious George
The image of George the Monkey was created by Margaret and H.A. Ray; based on their observations and sketches of baboons while living in South America, it was painted in the children's book Curious George during World War II. Since the first French and English editions were published in 1939 and 1941, respectively, it has a history of more than 70 years and has become the favorite picture book classic for generations of children. Whether it's books, movies, or cartoons, curious George's series is loved by children and endures.
The first version of the cartoon "Curious George" aired on the Disney Channel in the 1980s, while the new version of the Curious George cartoon premiered on the PBS Kids channel from 2006 and has aired 8 seasons and 102 episodes by 2014. The 2006 edition of Curious George contains two stories of about 25 minutes per episode, suitable for preschoolers over the age of 3.
George, who originally lived in the African jungle, was driven by curiosity to pick up a large yellow hat from the ground and put it on his head, and his fate changed completely. He came to the big city and began to experience unprecedented adventures. His curiosity became the starting point for every adventure, whether it was a storm of false alarm fires caused by random phone calls, sneaking from prisons and zoos, sneaking into buildings to graffiti, riding bicycles to deliver newspapers, or joining a circus performance, he made mistakes in every adventure, but also learned and grew.
From the traditional view of education, George is destined to be classified as a "naughty bag" that teachers don't like and parents have headaches. However, in this series, the "naughty bag" has a strong curiosity; excellent observation; unremitting spirit of inquiry; extraordinary action, let us re-examine and think about the fundamentals of early education, try to look at and understand the words and deeds of children from another perspective, respect the curious and active nature of children, and let them constantly seek and explore happily in the world.
This is the protagonist of the story, George
George is like a little boy next door, lively, active, full of love, full of curiosity about all kinds of things in life, like to invent all kinds of things, there are many strange ideas, exactly to the name of the story, he is a particularly curious little monkey, just like our children. It is especially worth watching for boys, inspiring children's creative thinking, life is colorful in their eyes, and there are many things that attract them.
In the eyes of many people, George is a "bear child" who causes trouble everywhere. However, in the series of stories of George the Curious Monkey, this little monkey has a strong curiosity, knows how to observe carefully, bravely explores the unknown, and also has the so-called "do what you want" action that many people lack. This can't help but make us reflect, the fundamental of education, is not to respect the curiosity of children, let them explore on their own, in the world to find the answers they want?
Each classic children's book image has its own charm, and there are many places worth learning.
