Monkey See, Monkey Do!

CURIOUS GEORGE LOVES RADNOR LIBRARY!!



Curious George hitched a ride from the man in the yellow hat and guess where he ended up? Right here in Wayne, PA at the Radnor Library. We couldn't believe how much fun we had! More than 200 banana loving kids came out to see George!


In the following video you'll get a glimpse of our time with the curious monkey. Miss Carlson sang and read a book, we watched a book on the wall, played banana toss, and George was excited to sit with the children and pose for pictures. We wish to thank Whole Foods in Devon, PA for providing bananas and a big thank you to Janet O'Leary for her hard work! Again, my friend, Dennis Parrish provided original music
