George and Martha Encore by James Marshall

George and Martha Round and Round (1988)ĭoesn’t look like there will be any more George and Martha beginning readers, but that makes sense as author James Marshall passed away in 1992.

George and Martha Full of Surprises (1976).George and Martha Rise and Shine (1976).The humor and laughter from the original stories is there, but the complexity of the words and lack of consistency in the length of the stories may frustrate beginning readers. I’m not sure that these work at the best beginning readers. I looked at three books and found the following unique word counts: Two Great Friends at 140, Round and Round at 195, and Best of Friends at 177. Lexile only had scores available for one reader and it was scored at 470L.

I'm not trying to be provocative, but the Stupids frequently do things that are considered stupid, or that one shouldn't do. I suspect part of the reason the books are out-of-print is that the word 'stupid' is used frequently, and that the word is not something considered acceptable to be used around children, or by children. So - while you say the series is very 'popular' - it would cost someone quite a bit of money to actually OWN the books in the series, as the cheaper copies are selling for more than $20 on Amazon. We own two of the books and my kids would like to read the others - but they're hard to come by in our local library system.
