<P> When the first story , Cecily G. and the Nine Monkeys was published in France in 1939 , George was named Fifi . In the United Kingdom , George was originally called `` Zozo '' in 1941 , apparently to avoid using the name of the then King George VI for a monkey . Books featuring the adventures of Curious George have been translated from the original French into many other languages in addition to English . The books have been adapted into several television series and films . </P>
