"Is that Grandpa?"
"No, honey, Grandpa doesn't have a monkey."
If that exchange is familiar to you, then you must have a child who loves Curious George. Or you might know about Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Ducky and Spike--all characters from The Land Before Time. Both series are produced by Universal Studios Family Productions.
I've written before about my youngest son Bennett's love of Curious George, and I'm always interested in learning more about things my kids love. Daddy Daze has an interview up with Ellen Cockrill, Senior Vice President of Animation for Universal. In it, she talks about what it's like to write the two different story lines, about the challenges of creating educational entertainment for kids, and she provides links to several websites about the shows.
Thanks to Dave for the tip!

In our house he is "The Daddy". We LOVE Curious George. My son adores the show and the books. And, darn it, that is one incredibly cute little monkey! I'm hooked.
