But if it were...
Curious George is actually an ape, not a monkey. His nose is flat and broad, not snout-like and he doesn't have tail. While there are exceptions to the tail rule, given his appearance and high intelligence he is most likely a Bonobo. This means your beloved children's books are about a man in a yellow hat essentially stealing a small, determined sex maniac and setting him loose in suburbia. Furthermore, said man is in fact guilty of poaching from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is due a lengthy prison stay.
Wanted for poaching: "The Man in The Yellow Hat" Height: 6' without hat, 7'4" with hat.
The question "how many sides does a circle have" is far too complex to have a primary school answer. The simplest answer is to say that there is no easy or natural way to answer how many sides a circle has because one first has to determine what one means by the word side. The inside of the curve? The outside of the curve? Or are we referring to a disc? In that case there is a front and a back as well as the curves themselves.
A turtle is not the same thing as a tortoise. While they are both chelonians, turtles have webbed feet, some even have flippers, and live most of their lives in the water. A tortoise has short, stubby feet and claws and and dwells entirely on land. Franklin the Turtle is able to tie his shoes because he doesn't have flippers. He's not a turtle, he is Franklin the Tortoise.
It's Apatosaurus, not Brontosaurus. 137 years ago a very eager paleontologist (that's a good word, children, let's clap it out) named Marsh found and named the remains of an Apatosaurus and then a short while later found another, smaller fossilized skeleton of the same species and named it a Brontosaurus. The mistake was discovered and rectified in all the major scientific forums of the day and it's only idiots like the stamp makers at the US Postal Service who persist in using the wrong name. Don't be like the US Postal Service. Don't be idiots.
A spider is not an insect. Insects have three main body parts and three pairs of legs. Spiders have two main body parts and 4 pairs of legs. Simple. Easy to remember. Stop getting it wrong.
Giraffes do not have long necks to let them eat the leaves from the tops of trees. Giraffes feed predominantly on low bushes. They use their long necks to beat the hell out of each other.
The phrase "non-Newtonian fluid" is every bit as important and wonderful as "goop".
It's hard, being a geek who is paid to nod and smile.
