George and Martha

 By James Marshall

I ordered this second hand, not realizing just how great this edition is.

I would totally recommend getting this specific edition just for the forward by Maurice Sendak, which consists mostly of him excitedly spoiling all of his favourite moments in the book.

The stories are simple and short.  My daughter doesn't get the jokes yet, but she will in time.  Meanwhile, I read it on my own time and laugh out loud.

Everyone should, at the very least, take this book out of the library.  It's a timeless classic, universally beloved.
