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.Ĭontributor Bio(s): Marshall, James: - 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. A man with a talent for friendship, James Marshall defined its very essence in his stories about the world's two best friends. 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. Like all best friends, George and Martha do everything together. Two lovable hippos impart lessons on the meaning of friendship in five short stories by the picture book master James Marshall.
