About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is learning to navigate the small but tricky bumps in a friendship. George and Martha are two hippos and the best of friends, but even they have their little problems. In five short, funny stories, they deal with white lies about terrible split pea soup, respecting privacy during bath time, and being a little too vain. This collection gently models how to be honest yet kind, how to set boundaries, and how to forgive a friend's quirks. Its simple humor makes it perfect for preschoolers and early elementary kids (ages 3 to 7) who are ready to talk about the give and take of true friendship.

What Parents Should Know

Scary ScenesMild

For one panel, a character wears a silly scary mask to play a gentle, comedic trick on a friend.

Sensitive Topics

There are no significant sensitive topics. The conflicts are very low-stakes and approached with gentle humor. A scene involving a scary mask is comedic, not genuinely frightening. The approach is entirely secular and focuses on interpersonal social-emotional skills.
