Curious George And The Little Boy With The Funny Hat

This is George.

George is a good little.......

well, not actually a monkey

but we can pretend.

George was once a little girl's

 pencil topper

 but then she gave him away

and now he lives with his friend,

The Little Boy With The Funny Hat.

George has many adventures

with the little boy with the funny hat.

The little boy likes to take him everywhere!

One day he went along to the post office

And the library

and McDonalds.

George likes to ride around

 in the little boy's coat pocket

 or to be carried, 

all snuggled up in his hand.

Sometimes he shares the

 little boy's cookies

Or sits beside 'Honey Bear'

and listens to stories

on the computer.

Sometimes he gets to help

play baby doll

and take rides in the back

of the old, pink stroller.

George is a very tiny

little monkey,

and hard to keep track of.

When he gets lost,

the little boy with the funny hat

is very sad.

"Where is George?"

He will cry.

And the whole family will go

on a George hunt.

Just when they are sure they have seen George for the last time,

he will turn up again 

in the most unlikely places!

In the seal of the washing machine --

What a scary experience 

that was for George!

Tucked under a blanket

where he spent a whole night

and a day before being discovered --

What a joyful shout 

went up that day!

In an abandoned heap

where he spent the night at the bottom of the steps --

What a lonely night 

that must have been!

And many other places 

too numerous to mention.

George is a good little monkey and always up for an adventure but at the end of the day his favorite place to be

 is snuggled up in the hand of

 The Little Boy With The Funny Hat

 as he drifts off to sleep.

The End.

-----------------------------------

This is a true story starring my youngest who is enamoured, at this point in life, by Curious George Stories and imaginary friends.

'George' has long since disappeared to who knows where. In his place, we now tote 'Honey Bear' who is much easier to keep track of. Someday, when 

The Little Boy With The Funny Hat

 is all grown up and the days of imaginary friends long past, I will pull out this story and show his children what a sweet little boy their daddy was.
