Max's Chocolate Chicken (Max and Ruby) description
How we love Max--the mischievous toddler rabbit who is often battling wits and wills with his bossy-boots older sister Ruby. Now it's time for the siblings' Easter egg hunt! Just as the festivities are about to begin, a secretive Easter Bunny places a huge chocolate chicken in the birdbath. "I love you," Max innocently declares to the edible chicken he covets. "Wait Max," warns Ruby. "First we must go on an egg hunt. If you find the most eggs then you get the chocolate chicken." But Max, who is still young enough to be distracted by mud puddles and marching ants, can't possibly focus on finding a single egg. When it becomes obvious that Ruby has collected the most (if not all) of the Easter eggs, Max takes drastic measures--as the youngest sibling often will--and steals the chicken. Rosemary Wells's expressive, giggle-funny illustrations (along with the board-book format) make this a perfect Easter story for toddlers as well as preschoolers, who will delight in Max's blatant misbehavior and relish the inevitable happy ending. (Baby to preschool) --Gail Hudson |

One of my kids' Top Ten books!

My kids LOVE this book! It figures that someone who thinks that stuffy Ruby bossing her brother around (Bunny Cakes) would NOT like poor Max unable to resist the chocolate chicken! I cannot believe that people take this book so seriously! Our kids giggle and smile while we read as Max hides from his industrious, single-minded, bossy boots sister while messily munching the chicken. I love the new version of the Easter bunny, the artistry on the eggs is delightful as well as the droll humor.
I think that the lesson that this book teaches our children is that life is fun and chocolate chickens shouldn't be taken too seriously! Or- since rule-making Ruby is the oldest, she would no doubt be the winner of the egg hunting contest and once again a frustrated Max outwits her! Hooray for the underdog (bunny). |
