The five short stories originally published in George and Martha: Rise and Shine (1976) are split into two easy readers. Shine includes "The Fibber," "The Experiment," and "The Picnic"; Time features "The Scary Movie!" and "The Secret Club." While the stories are as delightful as ever, this format is inferior to the original (e.g., the smaller illustrations are less effective at conveying the humor). Review covers these titles: George and Martha: One More Time and George and Martha: Rise and Shine.
