Love these books

I'm always looking for new books to read to my granddaughter and finally found this one! She's four so the beautiful little pictures make all the difference! She loves these books and can't wait for us to read another!!

Max expresses love for his caregivers.

The illustrations are Rosemary Wells’s artwork collaged with photographs and include a silver foil element.

This book features Max’s parents who are mysteriously absent from the majority of Max & Ruby stories.

With just enough texture on the page to make them engaging without being intrusive, these books are clever, sweet and funny. In Counting Peas, Max sneezes peas all over. He puts them in his shoe, but eventually is distracted away from his peas by strawberries!

I like these short Baby Max and Ruby board books. There is just a little text and nice illustrations. This one has a rarity - Max and Ruby's parents!! I'd never seen them before! Also cool was that the jelly on the toast at the end was sticky to the touch.

Max loves everyone, and everyone loves Max. This is a cute little rhyming book for toddlers.

I read this on We Give Books (wegivebooks.org), where they donate books to schools when you read books on their site.
