Kindergarteners are wrapping up their unit on George and Martha, two great hippo friends. James Marshall offers amusing, heart-felt lessons on being a friend. What does George do when Martha continues to serve dreaded pea soup? How does Martha help George when he is too nervous to jump from the high diving board? And what about that cuckoo clock? Each book contains five very short linked stories.
Ask your daughter about George's gold tooth, about who was scared at the movies, about Martha and the Mexican jumping beans. This series is an oldie but goodie and a big hit with the kindergarten crowd.
