Review
"The idyllic friendship of those shy, pin-eyed, buck-toothed hippos ambles on." Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
James Marshall (1942-1992) created dozens of exuberant and captivating books for children, including The Stupids, Miss Nelson Is Missing!, and the ever-popular George and Martha books. Before creating his canon of classic, hilarious children's books, James Marshall played the viola, studied French, and received a master's degree from Trinity College. He also doodled. It was the doodles, and the unforgettable characters that emerged from them, that led him to his life's work as one of the finest creators of children's books of the twentieth century. In 2007, James Marshall was posthumously awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder medal for his lasting contribution to literature for children.

Friendship Lessons,
By
This review is from: George and Martha Encore (Paperback)
Through this book (and others in the series), James Marshall shows what friendship is all about. I have always found it amazing that he can practically state his message out loud -- as in Martha telling George "I would much rather have a friend like you than all the gardens in the world" -- and yet the life lesson doesn't sound heavy-handed. The meaning/lesson sounds totally natural coming out of the mouths of George and Martha. Only an exceptional writer can pare a story down to its essentials the way these very short, very sweet stories are pared.
