[QUOTE="Psmith, post: 440076, member: 3092"] Pipe smokers and the odd pipe shop are all over the place in the original Curious George books by H.A. Rey. Rey himself was an inveterate pipe smoker so I guess he liked to put a bit of himself in those books. Having a 4 year old son at home I have an omnibus of the original works that I read to him a lot. As I read them to him I play my own version of "Where's Waldo?" but it is "Where is the pipesmoker?". Among the illustrations featuring sailors, policemen, zoo-keepers and other sorts that George encounters there is always one of them with a pipe. Not only that, the shapes range from bents to straights with varying bowl shapes. Clearly his wife, the illustrator, was familiar with his pipe collection. One of my favorite lines in the first book: "After a good meal and a good pipe, George enjoyed a nice sleep." Don't we all. [/QUOTE]
