I remember reading these books during the summers at our cottage, they are some of my fondest memories and I just had to check one out when I saw it at the library earlier.
The last one is at the amusement park where George and Martha ride a bunch of rides and then they end up in the tunnel of love where Martha scares the pants off George to get him back from earlier in the day. The fourth story George decides to scare Martha and in response she "forgets" to scare him back so he walks around looking for her all afternoon.
The third story is when George tells Martha an icky story during lunch, it upsets her so she tells him an even ickier one so he feels sick. It starts out with Martha walking the tightrope, then it moves to Martha writing in her diary while George tries to spy on her to see what she writes about. George and Martha One Fine Day is a collection of five stories from the day they have together. With only two minute dots for eyes, his illustrated characters are able to express a wide range of emotion, and produce howls of laughter from both children and adults. James Marshall had the uncanny ability to elicit wild delight from readers with relatively little text and simple drawings. He is well-known for his Fox series (which he wrote as "Edward Marshall"), as well as the Miss Nelson books, the Stupids, the Cut-ups, and many more.
In addition to George and Martha, the lovable hippopotami, James Marshall created dozens of other uniquely appealing characters. In 1998, George and Martha became the basis of an eponymous animated children's television show. Marshall continued as a children's author until his untimely death in 1992 of a brain tumor. His mother was watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and the main characters, George and Martha, ultimately became characters in one of his children's books. It is said that he discovered his vocation on a 1971 summer afternoon, lying on a hammock drawing. He returned to Texas, where he attended San Antonio College, and later transferred to Southern Connecticut State University where he received degrees in French and history. I knew I would die if I stayed there so I diligently studied the viola, and eventually won a scholarship to the New England Conservatory in Boston." He entered the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, but injured his hand, ending his music career. Marshall said: "Beaumont is deep south and swampy and I hated it. His family later moved to Beaumont, Texas. His father worked on the railroad, was a band member in the 1930s, and his mother sang in the local church choir. James Edward Marshall (Octo– October 13, 1992), who also wrote as Edward Marshall, was a children's author and illustrator.
