These five sparkling new mini-stories about an exquisite friendship are full of carefree touches that combine to make this another high point in Jim Marshall's growing list of books (which includes the original George and Martha). The charm of his art rests in a delight with the uproarious problems posed by a delicate spirit in an outsize body, and his sensitive humor is ever underscored by a warm-hearted appreciation of the best qualities of human (and hippo) nature.
