Daniel:
 
Here's a resource about the original Curious George.  At the  Self-Reliance 
Foundation, we do media and outreach targeting Latino  families.  One type 
of outreach we have developed is La Pagina Familiar de  la Ciencia (Family 
Science Page), which features kid-friendly interviews with  scientists, 
activities to do at home, games, puzzles, etc.  We disseminate  the page to 
various Spanish-language newspapers across the country.  In  most regions of the 
country, you will find one or more Spanish-language  papers.  Here in DC, we 
have eight or nine.  Our family page is  featured weekly on the full back 
page of El Pregonero, which has a circuation of  about 35,000.
 
We have done several pages featuring Curious George, in collaboration with  
WGBH.  You could "recycle these pages," as appropriate or we could talk  
with WGBH about doing some new pages.  You could include several pages as  
part of whatever kind of press kit or resources you provide with the  exhibit.
 
We are also interested in developing partnerships with science centers of  
children's museums who want to feature the page in their community.  One of  
our new partners is the Arizona Science Center, which works with a local  
Spanish-language paper to run a combination of the generic features we 
develop  as well as some local content (e.g., listings of family events at ASC,  
etc.).  Since we provide the content to the newspapers at no charge, we do  
not pay for the space and ask the newspapers to run the page weekly or 
monthly  at no charge as a service to their readers; most papers are happy to do  
that.
 
So the Museum of Science or any other science or any other science center  
is interested in the Family Science page, please let me know.  I will send  
you a pdf sample of the page and we can take it from there.

Boston  Children's Museum is preparing to host an exhibit featuring 
everyone's  favorite monkey, Curious George! We're thinking it would be fun to have 
a  display of other famous Georges, ideally creative and curious thinkers,  
scientists, engineers, inventors, etc. 

Who's *your* favorite  George?


TIA,
AD
