Product Description: In his most hilarious escapade yet, Max learns a invaluable lesson--in his irresistible way! For Grandma's birthday, Max wants to make her an earthworm birthday cake. His sister Ruby is going to make an angel surprise cake with raspberry-fluff icing. When Grandma ends up with two cakes, guess which one she'll eat first? Full color.
we love max and ruby this is one of those books that my 2yo insists on me reading to her over and over and over... well, you get the picture! she loves the whole max and ruby series (and am i outing myself as a horrible parent if i admit we saw the series on noggin first?).
She loves it! The true test of a childrens' book is how often it is chosen to be read. I've read this one almost every night for more than a month. She even carries it around with her in her wagon during the day. AND, I don't mind reading it over and over.
Red Hot Marshmallow Squirters? I love Max and Ruby, way before they were on TV. "Bunny Cakes" is one of my favorites. Rosemary Wells uses such simplistic words and phrases yet they are eloquently written. Ruby's making Grandma a birthday cake and Max decides to make one, too...from dirt and worms. But his cake is missing something: Red Hot Marshmallow Squirters. See how Max finally gets them and then wonder: Which cake will Grandma eat first?
Max and Ruby: A Staple of Children's Reading I have to believe that Max and Ruby books are staples of every American child's literary diet. For the early years of the lives of all three of my children, Max and Ruby books were (and still are) daily reading choices. The illustrations are appealing, and the characters are hilarious. I genuinely admire Rosemary Wells' mastery of story telling: in just a few pages she hones in on the sweet, funny conflicts between Max and Ruby, showing their true natures every step of the way to what is always a satisfying resolution. You should make sure all the mothers you know with little children own Max and Ruby books. I have: these are among my favorites for gift giving. Top titles in my house are: Bunny Cakes, Bunny Money, Max's Dragon Shirt, Max Cleans Up, Max's Chocolate Chicken, and Bunny Party.
favorite book This is my daughters favorite book. I think she likes it becuase it do the voices for Ruby and she can guess what Ruby wrote on the list.
