Summary: Priceless story, but difficult to read aloud.
Comment: Max doesn't like eggs, yet his big sister Ruby attempts to feed him one for breakfast. Max want strawberries, but Ruby insists he eat the egg first. Max tests his older sisters resolve by trying to get out of eating that egg: he covers it with a napkin, hides it on a chair, and finally climbs down from his chair, and hides under the table to avoid eating his breakfast. Ruby finds him, and demonstrates how good eggs are by taking a bite, "See, Max, said Ruby. It's a YUMMY, YUMMY EGG." One bite turns into two, and eventually Ruby eats the entire egg. Max tosses a strawberry into the air, and with a big grin on his face declares, "ALL GONE". Ruby is exasperated.
This cute story comes as a board book, and measures 7" x 7" x ¼". The text is very short; only ten pages long. Simply illustrated, yet the images are very expressive for easy comprehension. "MAX's Breakfast," is a funny tale about a picky eater, but as in many of Ms. Wells books, it is awkward to read aloud, "Eat your egg, Max, said Max's sister, Ruby." I have gotten to the point of discarding the last half of the sentences when reading her books, since they seems to flow better that way. Birth and up.

Summary: Max at his funniest
Comment: My grandchildren and I love Max & Ruby stories. Ms. Wells is very clever in the way she illustrates the characters so that the reader can actually see Max thinking about how to not have to eat the egg. If your children haven't met Max yet, then this is definitely a book for an infant or young toddler, but children who have met Max love to go back and "read" the early boardbacks on their own. It's like visiting a familiar friend.

Summary: Cute, enjoyable for the very young
Comment: The illustrations are wonderful... bright and colorful enough to grab all children. The idea of the story (picky eater) is definitely an issue that children can understand, as well as parents. The story is clever, but some of the writing leaves a little to be desired. The phrases "...said Max's sister, Ruby", "said Ruby" is said seven times in the storybook... there are only ten pages... and "said Max" is written three times. Those phrases are always the ones that distract my child away from the story... and this one was no exception.
