Synopsis:
(from the publisher) George and Martha, two hippopotamuses created by the singular talent of James Marshall, have entertained, intrigued, and delighted readers of all ages for the past quarter of a century. The portly animals have also taught us, in a humorous way, about what it means to be a true friend.

*Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions.
You can use them, but you don't have to use them.
You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.
Remember, though, that the focus of your time should
not be on the development and execution of a craft;
the focus should be on the read-aloud and the
enjoyment of the book!
