Two lovable hippos teach the meaning of friendship in five separate vignettes. "The secret of Mr. Marshall's success lies not just in the freshness of his sense of the ridiculous, but in the carefulness of his control and editorial judgment".--The New York Times Book Review. Full-color illustrations.

In five brief episodes two hippos confirm their friendship: "The Fibber," "The Experiment," "The Picnic," "The Scary Movie!," "The Secret Club."

George and Martha, those incomparable hippos, will delight readers of all ages in these five funny, warm, and wonderful stories by the illustrator of 'Miss Nelson is Missing!' And 'The Stupids Step Out.'

George and Martha are at it again. James Marshall has created several more episodes for his portly hippos, and children are going to be overwhelmed by his magic.

The "domestic adventures" and "exquisitely chaste" romance of George and Martha give delicate lessons in being a friend in this delightfully funny book. "Marshall's illustrations are as wonderful, witty, and wise as his text".--Kirkus Reviews starred review. Full color throughout.
