I like the old-school Curious George books written by H. A. Rey. George smoked a pipe, wore coat-style pajamas, carried a rifle, jumped off an ocean liner, wrecked havoc in a hospital, stole several things, incl. balloons, fish, and a yellow hat. And he went to jail. They don't write 'em like that anymore. Children's books today are banal and trite.
