About the Author
James Marshall (1942–1992) created dozens of exuberant and captivating books for children, including The Stupids, Miss Nelson Is Missing!, and the ever-popular George and Martha books. Before creating his canon of classic, hilarious children’s books, James Marshall played the viola, studied French, and received a master’s degree from Trinity College. He also doodled. It was the doodles, and the unforgettable characters that emerged from them, that led him to his life’s work as one of the finest creators of children’s books of the twentieth century. In 2007, James Marshall was posthumously awarded the Children's Literature Legacy Award for his lasting contribution to literature for children.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020my 7 year old loves this series. she is a little dyslexic and at the bottom of her reading level but these books are easy and silly enough to keep her motivated to read on.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013I love books for children that are subtly sophisticated. This book is short and sweet and never fails to amuse me. In fact, after my older two children had long outgrown it and it had been passed along to another happy home, I bought it again after adopting a baby. He's three now and loves it when you say, "Boo!" At which point he yells, "Have mercy!" George and Martha are fabulous.
