SUMMARY:Monkey See\, Monkey Learn: The Curious World of Curious George
DESCRIPTION:Hans and Margaret Rey’s Curious George series is one of the most beloved and successful picture-book series of all time.

This talk will frame the Curious George series in the larger context of mid-twentieth century children’s picture books\, and also\, in the context of the Reys’ remarkable success story as Jewish refugees and immigrants who went on to live the American dream. \nThis lecture coincides with the theatre show Curious George: The Golden Meatball\, on stage from July 25–August 2\, 2026. \nThemed Cocktail: Cheeky Monkey\nLecturer: Marc Napolitano\, Assistant Professor of English\, United States Air Force Academy\nTickets: $24 ($18 for FAC Members)\, includes your first drink \nGet TICKETS \nAbout Libation Lectures\nLibation Lectures is a lecture series offering an educational twist to the traditional happy hour.
