George and Martha Tons of Fun

By James Marshall

Book Overview

Five more short stories featuring the two best hippo friends, George and Martha.

Like all best friends, George and Martha butt heads sometimes. In this volume, the companions (and readers) learn the importance of listening to each other's needs, having good boundaries, and that maybe commenting on your friend's junk food habit isn't the best idea....

A man with a talent for friendship, James Marshall defined its very essence in his stories about the world's two best friends. Each of these five brief tales is filled with humor, and James Marshall's drawings are guaranteed to spark feelings of empathy, delight, and self-recognition.

Martha & George: Literary Classics

Cute without being lightweight, educational with being overly didactic--James Marshall pulls it off perfectly in his George & Martha series. Buy a copy (or five!) now; you won't regret it!

George and Martha really Are two good friends!

What can one say about George. Sensative and impish. Martha is just too cool for words. She can give heavy guilt without saying a word.
