Review
"The beady-eyed animals show some remarkably beautiful human characteristics, including the innocent loyalty of their young friendship and Emily's inability to resist eating." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review
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.

Diet, schmiet! You've got to have FRIENDS!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yummers! Starring Emily and Eugene (Hardcover)
I'm still mourning James Marshall's death. Reading "Yummers" gives you an inkling of what bibliophiles miss. His gentle humor, comical yet endearing illustrations. And yet, always wisdom behind the joke. But he never beats you over the head with it. I've read all of James Marshall's books (over and over) and I never get tired of them. At least we've got something to remember him by.
