I think its a great story. Especially since it shows Ruby's persistence to keep trying, even when things didn't go as planned. Getting angry is normal, but its impressive that she didn't give up

This is a level 1 reader so a beginning reader would need help but a merging into level 2 probably could read it by themselves. This is also a 'better' Max and Ruby where Ruby isn't whining or being super bossy like sometimes she does. Max and her two friends were practicing soccer and Max has his robots.

One of those books that is enjoyed much more by fans of the characters. It isn't nauseatingly dumb, but it is rather non-exciting.

A great book for beginning readers. Words are simple and a large font is used. Text is repetitive and pictures support the text.
