I think Atticus is just like Curious George.
Loving, devoted to the man in the yellow hat (well...mommy), curiously intelligent, possessing a penchant for trouble - a lovable puppy dog. I think Atticus sees a kindred spirit in that wild little monkey. He particularly enjoys the original picture book, which possesses firemen, balloons, policemen, a jungle, and a zoo. What two year old boy would not be enraptured by this book? A classic, but necessary rite of passage for every young child.
