_Curious George and the Rocket_ is a board book (i.e., for littler people)
based on _Curious George Gets a Medal_. Basically, an abridgement or
something of the original _CGGaM_. The copyright is 2000, IIRC. I picked
that one up with Sammy in mind a few weeks before he was born at my
favorite independent bookstore, Adventures in Crime and Space.
(Just to clarify what I was talking about, exactly.)
