On a fateful summer afternoon in 1971 James Marshall lay on his hammock drawing pictures. His mother was inside the house watching \u003ci\u003eWho's Afraid of Virginia Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e on TV. The strident voices of the movie's protagonists, George and Martha, split the quiet air, and as the sketches began to take shape, history was made... and James Marshall became one of the most prolific and successful author\/illustrators of children's books. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe is best known for his series on the mischievous exploits of Fox, a debonair, lazy showoff; the uproarious adventures of the two Cut-Ups, Spud and Joe; George and Martha; and the misadventures of the Stupid family. \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e said in a review of his work, There are few better writers and illustrators for children now than Marshall. Certainly there is no one else working today who more successfully captures the child's point of view than does the creator of George and Martha and the Stupids. \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e said about the Fox books: The miracle of Mr. Marshall's work is that so often his stories are as profound as they are simple. He illustrated new versions of many children's classics, including \u003cb\u003eGoldilocks and the Three Bears\u003c\/b\u003e, for which he received a Caldecott Honor, \u003cb\u003eRed Riding Hood\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Three Little Pigs\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eHansel and Gretel\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fox and His Friends\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower Grades, K-3\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753692823840,"sku":"9780140370072","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/05c242a6145f52404cadc13759bfa778.webp?v=1780025667","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/fox-and-his-friends-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
