Among the old clothes and tattered books and records was a stuffed Curious George doll, in near-perfect condition. He was about two feet tall, and priced just a few dollars. I was on my way back to see my nephew, then only two-years old, and thought George would make the perfect gift. I stuffed him best I could into my backpack &#8212; about half of him, head and arms at least, sticking out &#8212; and cycled back. I imagine I made a silly sight there, cycling through that rural community of cows and horses, with a two-foot Curious George on my back.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t the first time Curious George rode a bike, of course. He loves riding his bike in his books and cartoons. His most important bike ride, though, came 70 years ago this week.<\/p>\n<p>It was then, on June 12, 1940, that George&#8217;s creators Margret and H.A. Rey fled Paris on bicycles, in advance of the Nazis entering the city two days later. With them was their manuscript for <em>Curious George<\/em>, and little else.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 203px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thejewishmuseum.org\/core\/uploaded\/exhibitions\/curious-musdg0812040102_275.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"275\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright \u00a9 2010 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company.
