Reviews

I love all the books

[Janice · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ruby, the older, sensible sister, and Max, the mischief maker, are at it again. It’s Ruby’s birthday and all Max can think about is the presents. The party means nothing to him. It’s the presents which command his attention.

As usual, something funny comes from it.

Before this was a TV series, there were books. Get these and read them to your kids. You can’t help laughing at Max’s antics. My favorite (and my kids’) was when Max had to clean up his room.

It's Ruby's birthday, and she is having her party. But, all Max can stay focused on is "Presents!". He does everything in his power to make present-opening time come sooner.

After Ruby opens her presents, Max runs off with all her wrapping paper. But, when he returns, she will see what the sweetest gift of all is.

This is a fun birthday story. I like the Max and Ruby stories. Max had a sweet present planned for Ruby and couldn't wait to give it to her. It was a fun and sweet story.
