Jonathan and Martha are two lonely worms. One day a big, juicy pear falls to the ground between them. Jonathan nibbles from one side, Martha from the other and soon they are tangled in the middle together!
Using his signature style of eye-catching illustration and collage, Horáček’s simple narrative teaches the importance of sharing and the value of friendship, as Jonathan and Martha must work together through ensuing fun and difficulties.
Perfect for parents reading to preschoolers or for older children reading alone, Jonathan and Martha is a classic tale that will educate and delight.
