Goodnight Max (Max and Ruby)

Price: $9.72 (as of 2013-10-18 - Details)

PreSchool-Wells's latest story about Max and his sister Ruby is a board book with 14 touch-and-feel surprises, including a terrycloth towel, sandpaper crumbs, and a furry teddy. At bedtime, the toddler's red rubber elephant is thirsty, so Max gives it a glass of water, which promptly spills on his outer-space pajamas. Thus begins a series of events in which the young rabbit needs to change his pajamas three times. He just cannot get to bed, despite Ruby's efforts to quiet his complaints about a fly, the noisy rain, and the bright moon. The touch-and-feel aspects of the book are sturdy with the exception of the lace curtain and blanket, which may tear off easily. A humorous, true-to-life bedtime story with the author's typical minimal sentences and delightful watercolor-and-ink illustrations.Olga R.
