I liked George and Martha's Tons of Fun the best. It is a good thing that James Marshall made the story because at school we do a copy change of his stories.

Interesting in a very very very very good way
20 Dec 2001
By A 12-year old reader
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a terrific book for anybody, even though its marketed as a young children's book. I love this book, (and I'm 12) and my parents and older sister, (who pretends not to) do too. This book chronicles the stories of two best friends, who just so happen to be hippos. They relate moral messages, but in a far from preachy way. The illustrations are colorful and the two hippos are shown as cute and cuddly. (awwww.... they sell these really cute George and Martha dolls somewhere) In short this is a great book for anybody. So read it!

"It's important to sample new products" (Martha)
16 May 2000
By Alan R. Holyoak
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
George and Martha, two hippos who are best friends have amazing adventures in this easy to read, fun to experience set of short tales.
I think, no, I'm sure that my wife likes this book more than our children do, and our children love it. There are now several quotes from this book that have become common place at our home.
One is, "It's important to sample new products."
Try this book, you'll enjoy it thoroughly. The art work appears simple, but it's appropriately wonderful to the tone and stories of these two good friends.
5 stars, no question about it.

God Save George and Martha!
5 Mar 2002
By A. Y. Smittle
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
These are great tales of friendship--even for beginners, like my 4 yr old preschool class. They love all the little stories. A few go over their heads, but they get the concept of the humor and companionship represented by these sweet, lovable, sometimes mischevious and selfish hippos. I've tried reading them the other George and Martha books, but this is their favorite. Gosh, thank God for James Marshall and his inventions!
(We have an old copy---the kids love the "pink cookies" Martha offers George instead of pea soup!)
Sampling:
George doesnt want to eat Marthas pea soup, so he pours it in his shoes
George knocks out his favorite tooth. Which is your favorite tooth?
George gets tired of Martha looking at herself in the mirror all the time; she even wakes up in the middle of the nite to do it. So he pastes a silly picture of her on her mirror....
There are George and Martha stuffed animals out there, too.
Any relation to George and Martha Washington?
