I love the Max & Ruby series. I loved reading it as a kid and it never fails to catch my attention. ( )

Max's room is a big mess! His sister Ruby, wants to help him clean it up. As Ruby helps Max clean up, Max has another idea in mind. He puts everything in his pockets including sticky bubbles, rocks, and an ant farm, so his sister does not throw it away or pick it up. At the end of the story, Ruby discovers that Max has all his cherished items in his pockets. Author, Rosemary Wells, once again is describing every day issues such as cleaning a messy room. In comparison to other books, "Max and Ruby's First Greek Myth"and "Bunny Party" Rosemary Wells put animals as the characters so it can be appealing to a younger audience. ( )

This story is so cute and fun for younger children. I'm sure every child has seen an episode of Max and Ruby. Max is always giving his older sister Ruby a hard time.

Ruby finished cleaning Max's room, when she discovers that Max put a lot of the junk in his pocket and everything rolls out all at one time. Max just sits there with a huge smile on his face, I'm sure is sister was quite pleased. This story is a good laugh. ( )
