Meet George and Martha — two hippos, best friends, and absolutely devoted to each other despite their many differences. In five short, funny vignettes, James Marshall captures the heart of true friendship: "Split Pea Soup," "The Flying Machine," "The Tub," "The Mirror," and "The Tooth." Warmhearted, witty, and illustrated in Marshall's irresistible style, this is a classic that children and adults return to again and again.
