More wonderful adventures of George and Martha, two lovable hippos with a strong friendship.

One hippo's trash is another hippo's...cuckoo clock? George and Martha may be best friends, but that doesn't mean they like all the same things. The two hippos exercise both their imaginations and forgiveness as they deepen their bond of friendship in this addition to the classic children's series.

Customer Reviews

George and Martha Rock!

This was the first George and Martha book we got for our granddaughter, who recently turned four. She's enjoyed these two friends so much that we've been buying some of the others, too, but I think I like this one the best. With a wonderful economy of words, the stories in each book manage to imply a great deal about their relationship, and it's fascinating to see how a young child 'gets' all of the things left unsaid--why one of the characters did something, and how they felt, and so on. These are perfect for emerging readers, too, because after a few reads, the child knows the story and is able to flip through the pages and tell it back to him/herself.
