"Five stories about two great friends" - a pair of hippos named
George and Martha. The stories are as diminutive as their
principals are gross, and there's nothing heavy about the moral
verities tucked in among the nonsense. Thus George learns after
pouring Martha's pea soup into his loafers (because "I just can't
stand another spoonful") that "friends should always tell each
other the truth," and when he peeks through Martha's bathroom
window she crowns him with the tub to teach him that "there is such
a thing as privacy." The pictures - of George trying to roller
skate or to ascend in a balloon, of Martha gazing into the mirror -
hold up their end of the "lovable blimp" load, and though this
George and Martha won't go down in history, they are worth looking
in on. (Kirkus Reviews)
Two lovable hippos teach the meaning of friendship in five separate vignettes: "Split Pea Soup," "The Flying Machine," "The Tub," "The Mirror," "The Tooth."
