George and Martha Rise and Shine (1976)

This book is a collection of five stories about two friends. They share adventures such as going to see a scary movie, studying fleas, learning to tell the truth, and starting an exclusive club. Their friendship grows stronger even when they have disagreements.

I enjoy the characters in this book. They are good friends, but they get mad at each other from time to time. The drawings are funny and greatly add to the content of the book.

This is a good read-aloud book, for the illustrations are large and visible from a distance. The book can be used in a lesson discussing friendship and proper ways of settling disagreements. ( )
