Curious George
H. A. Rey · Houghton Mifflin Company (Boston) · 1941
Later printings carry the same 1941 copyright date. Date a suspect copy by the list of Curious George titles on the last page and the rear jacket flap - a list running as far as 'Curious George Flies a Kite', for instance, places a copy circa 1958 or later. Standard mid-century book-club tells apply to the reprints: 'Book Club Edition' at the foot of the front jacket flap, an unpriced jacket, and a blind-stamped dot or square on the rear board near the spine. Weekly Reader and Scholastic reprints are common and are not the Houghton Mifflin trade issue.
