George and Martha, the incomparable hippos who have delighted readers of all ages, are back again in stories with a new blend of absurdity and warmth. “The idyllic friendship of those shy, pin-eyed, buck-toothed hippos ambles on through Martha’s dance recital, George’s unsuccessful attempt to disguise himself as a [First Nation’s Person], a French lesson, and the planting of cut tulips in Martha’s garden; it even survives Martha’s bad case of sunburn because ‘George never said “I told you so” ’ “.
