Get ready for a delightful afternoon of storytelling, creativity, and fun at
this special family event celebrating Curious George, the beloved little
monkey with a big sense of adventure!

Start your visit with hands-on craft activities and snacks, then settle into
the theater for a one-of-a-kind experience with a **real monkey** beginning at
**3:15 PM**. Afterward, enjoy a screening of the animated _Curious George_
movie on the big screen. When the credits roll, capture a memorable photo with
the Man in the Yellow Hat and browse a pop-up shop with Curious George books
available for purchase.

**Did you know?**_Curious George_ was created by Jewish authors Margret and
H.A. Rey, who fled Europe during World War II with the original manuscript
tucked in a bicycle basket—a remarkable story of resilience and creativity
behind this beloved character.

This is the perfect experience for children, parents, grandparents, and all
caregivers to enjoy together. Bring your whole crew and celebrate books,
family, and curiosity with us!

**Reserve your spot today. Space is limited and this event is sure to sell
out!**
