Summary
Best known for his canon of classic hilarious children’s books, including favorites like GEORGE AND MARTHA, MISS NELSON, and THE STUPIDS, James Marshall has no rival when it comes to goofy fun. With the same silly spirit and charm, he presents four expressive stories about four little troubles. Marshall fans will cheer the return of these four little gems, out-of-print since 1987. These books, previously available as the boxed set FOUR LITTLE TROUBLES, are now back in print and available separately. Each small book, in a new paperboard format, will undoubtedly ease the troubles facing all young children.

Media reviews
Whimsical . . . charmingly presented . . . a trip into this troubled’ world is a joy.” Publishers Weekly
"Each story conveys that sense of kindness and good humor which are as characteristic of Marshall as his fruit-basket colors. Eugene the turtle goes to school for the first time and finds that his teacher is nice; Irene the bulldog puppy is a hit as a toadstool in the school play; Snake, the butt of jokes because he is different,’ becomes a hero; and Hortense, who worries because people are talking about her, finds that they are planning her birthday party.” School Library Journal
