In this volume, all 35 of Marshall\'s beloved George and Martha Stories are brought together to celebrate friendship.
Noted children\'s book historian Anita Silvey provides an afterword..
This collector\'s Edition includes an introduction by Maurice Sendak as well as appreciations by some of the top authors and illustrators working in children\'s publishing today.
It is a true testament to James Marshall as an author, as an artist, and as a person that his work and his life inspired such a diverse and immensely talented group.
Each of these brief tales is filled with humor, and James Marshall\'s drawings are guaranteed to spark feelings of empathy, delight, and self-recognition.
In this volume, all thirty-five episodes are brought together to celebrate friendship and two of the most lovable characters ever created.
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--go to the movies, play at the beach, and just hang around not doing much of anything.
Full color.
