Curious George

Curious George investigates his world because everything fascinates him – familiar things, unfamiliar things, things he doesn’t quite understand – everything. What keeps us wanting to come back to George is the fact that we know his curiosity will propel him into (mis-)adventures. But George isn’t undone by his mischief. He usually manages to pull himself out of it and sometimes even saves the day.

The Man with the Yellow Hat

He’s Curious George’s best friend and mentor, the reassuring parental presence who trusts George unconditionally, never expecting him to get into trouble. He’s as well organized as one can be with a monkey in the house; well liked in the neighborhood; and a little goofy around the edges. In their spare moments, he and George can be found playing checkers or reading a book together.

Hundley

The dignified, proud, and distinctly un-adventurous dachshund belongs to the Doorman in George’s building. Hundley is wary of George and the havoc he wreaks. But he’s also grudgingly glad to have George around because they often become allies and have to work together.

Doorman

He’s the friendly, knowledgeable, and dignified gatekeeper of George’s building. He’s fascinated by everything – but only in this city. The Doorman is extremely knowledgeable of the city’s geography and knows all the best ways to get from here to there. He remembers everyone who’s come and gone, where they came from, and where they’ve gone to.

Bill

He’s enthusiastic, patient, and methodical, but also kind of oblivious to things around him. Bill’s not a city kid; he lives across the street from George’s and The Man with the Yellow Hat’s country home. He’s got a lot of cool things for George to get into trouble with and explore: a bike, a paper route, a collection of kites, and a hutch full of bunnies.

Charkie

Charkie is a joyful cocker spaniel and a bouncing ball of energy. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. Having fun with people and animals is pretty much all she cares about. Charkie is happy to get involved in anything George is up to because she just doesn’t see trouble.

Betsy and Steve

Steve is an impetuous, spirited, and athletic all-American kid. Betsy is Steve’s spunky and clever younger sister. They’re not quite sure how to take George, but they know they can count on him to spice up the neighborhood.

Chef Pisghetti

He’s the very good-natured owner of the Italian restaurant around the corner. He enjoys having George around, and George enjoys helping him out whenever he can. The Man with the Yellow Hat is one of his valued customers – he always has a yellow napkin ready for him.

Gnocchi

She’s an impetuous, free-spirited cat who’s made Pisghetti’s Ristorante her home base. A great climber with the curiosity of a cat, she’s second to George because not only does George have thumbs, but where George is interested in how things work, Gnocchi is satisfied by simply discovering, batting at, and sitting on new things.

Professor Wiseman

She’s full of great information about things. A good friend of The Man with the Yellow Hat, she runs the Museum of Science. She gets pretty excited about George’s adventures – thinks they’re great.

Compass

He’s the adamantly incorrect homing pigeon who lives on the rooftop of George’s apartment building. He belongs to the Doorman, but is forever trying to nest on The Man with the Yellow Hat’s balcony, and George is happy to have him. The Man with the Yellow Hat is less thrilled.

Jumpy Squirrel

Jumpy is a daredevil squirrel who likes to jump a lot, and an incurable collector who shares George’s love of discovering new things – except that Jumpy likes to bury them. He likes hanging out with George, even if George forces him out of his comfort zone from time to time.
