George and Martha Rise and Shine

This is a terrific series for children age 3 to 7 and adults enjoy reading them too. So much can be gained from such a simple format. I read them to my grandkids over and over and we never tire of these stories of two good friends who happen to be hippos.

My 2 and a half year old loves all the George and Martha books. Each book has 5 stories. They are compact and not overly wordy. G and M do activities that little kids will understand and relate to, like gardening or dancing or swimming, but they are also pretty amusing for adult readers (some are clever, eg, in one book, George sprays Martha with water, Martha is furious, at the end you don't actually see her spraying George back, but you know she does; others are very sweet, eg., Maratha's tulips wont grow in her garden, so George goes to the florist and buys flowers and puts the stems in her garden to cheer her up). They deal with different feelings (sadness, shame, happiness, frustration, etc, but not in a heavy handed way). Get them all!

Love the book, used to have it and lost it so I decided to purchase this one. The book I received was a used old library book, not in terrible shape, but not great and not a very good value for the price.

My son is SOOOOO HAPPY with the George & Martha books that I bought him!!! I'm going to order all of them that I can!

Always love George and Martha -- My children loved them 30 years ago - now my grandchildren. sweet books with a gentle message.

And old favorite of my children that I purchased for my new grandson. ARrived in good shape.

My grand-daughter and I love all the George and Martha books

I surprised my grandchildren with all of your George and Martha books from Amazon.They are delighted with these stories! They are written so well that adultsdon't mind reading aloud again..and again. That's a sign of a clever author!
