Jorge el Curioso (Curious George)

George's curiosity is what drives the story, but I wonder what inspired his personality and the way he gets into trouble in such charming ways.

Reading about George's explorations made me nostalgic for discovering the world for the first time. Was that the author's intention—to evoke that sense of innocent curiosity?

The straightforward storytelling makes the book accessible for young children, but I wonder if the author considered adding more layers or lessons within the adventures.
