In this picture book classic that belongs on every reader's shelf, two
lovable hippos impart funny lessons on the true meaning of friendship.
Like all best friends, George and Martha do everything together. George
and Martha teach each other (and adoring readers) that even in a close
friendship, privacy is important, practical jokes can sometimes
backfire, and among other things, pouring split pea soup into your
loafers to spare the chef's feelings is not the best-laid plan.
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.
