Merry Christmas!
This board book is a very brief adaptation of an episode of the TV show where Ruby wants to decorate their Christmas tree with traditional ornaments but Max keeps sneaking his odd and spooky toys onto the tree too.
We love Max and Ruby in our house, but neither my daughter or I got much pleasure out of this barely there story when she was seven.
FOR REFERENCE:
Adaptation of the "Max and Ruby's Christmas Tree" segment from Season 3, Episode 13 (a/k/a Episode 39) of the "Max & Ruby" television series, directed by Jamie Whitney, written by Shelley Hoffman & Robert Pincombe, and originally aired November 8, 2006.

Cute story concept but overall I wasn't a huge fan, especially the ending. I did like that they ended up working together and making it work out.

One of the two books my son read to me today. He definitely pulled the wool over my eyes, very simple reading.

For whatever reason, my 3-yr old loves this book. It's okay, but he loves it. Must be the Christmas tree.
