not subtle enough submitted by camelsamba on August 21, 2011, 10:25pm This is a funny parody of Curious George, but not as great as I'd hoped. I really liked how each person told the man with the funny hat that monkeys have tails but apes don't (a big error in Curious George!). The man exploits George The Ape throughout the tale, but the ape manages to get him back in the end. I just wish the book had been a little more subtle somehow - until the end the ape takes out his fury on the nearest party, rather than the person who most deserves it (the man with the funny hat).
