I took my daughter to the library earlier today, and I ended up reading her the first book she pointed out: Curious George by Hans Augusto Rey. She loves her some Curious George.
We were about a third of the way through the book when I got to a page which read, after a good meal, and a good pipe... "A good pipe???" I repeated out loud, and the illustration showed Curious George sitting in a den chair, smoking a pipe. "What's the copyright on this?" I asked aloud to myself. A couple of the mothers within earshot giggled.
I turned to the copyright page and the read the original copyright was 1941. Okay. I read on, only to find out George would later go to JAIL for accidentally calling the fire department. I guess this means George doesn't have to worry about establishing his street cred(ibility) if he ever decides to go into Hip-Hop.
