Summary: Cute but confusing
Comment: This book was cute but in one way it was a little confusing. Max and Max's sister appear to be about the same size in most of the pictures so on a first read through I was confused as to why Max was talking in single words and his sister in full ten word fully grammatical sentences. Then it dawned on my that he was supposed to be a lot younger than she was? The pictures are cute, the story charming but I wish Max had been drawn as much smaller so that he was obviously a younger brother. It would have made more sense to me.

Summary: Adorable tale about clean and dirty.
Comment: Laugh aloud with Max, as his big sister Ruby endeavors to give him a bath. Max, a typical little "boy" bunny has just finished eating his lunch, and as with most toddlers, half of his lunch is all over him rather than in his belly. Big sister Ruby decides Max needs a bath, so as he waits for the tub to fill, Max enjoys some orange sherbet, and a cup of grape juice. He decides his bath would be more fun eating the sherbet in the water, so as one can expect, the sherbet finds its way into the bathwater and Ruby must start over. The same thing happens with the grape juice; consequently Ruby decides to give Max a shower, "You're going in the shower to get CLEAN, said Ruby." The story ends with Max pointing at Ruby's dress saying, "DIRTY," because in her attempt to bathe her little brother, she accumulates bits of orange sherbet and grape juice all over her dress. Max's expression is priceless!
"MAX's Bath," is an adorable tale about clean and dirty that any "bunny" will find amusing. This little board book measures 7" x 7" x ¼", and is simply illustrated; yet the images are colorful and expressive for easy comprehension. The text is very short; only ten pages long, and embraces humor, which is always popular among children and adult alike. Birth and up.

Summary: A rare toddler book that parents love
Comment: This is one of the Max board book series that also includes Max's Birthday, Max's Toys, andMax's Bedtime. They are supposedly intended for children from birth to age 2 or so. There are also several non-board books about Max (Max's Chocolate Chicken, and Bunny Money are my favorites) with longer stories designed for slightly older children.
Forget the designated ages. I told my teenage son I had written a couple of reviews of children's books for Amazon and he said, "Don't forget to review Max." He STILL loves them, and wants everyone to know how good they are. When he was 10, he loved reading them to his baby sister, and I understood how he felt. When he was a toddler, the Max books were the only children's books I read that REALLY made me laugh.
Max and Ruby are brother and sister bunnies. Ruby's a little bossy. Max always gets around her in the end. But their relationship remains a genuinely sweet and loving one. Small children, I think, just love the clean-lined, simple pictures, and the striking expressions on Max and Ruby's faces. But any adult or older child who reads the books will see Max as one of the great trickster characters of all times, and Rosemary Wells as one of the most insightful writers around on sibling rivalry.
Do NOT let any child - yours or anyone else's you know - get through being a toddler without meeting Max.
