Synopsis

Time for bed--but first a story!

"Just one more story," beg Max and Ruby, so Grandma tells one more and then another of their very favorite stories, the ones about the things they did when they were younger bunnies. Bursting with Wells's exuberant pictures, this large format book will delight fans of the beloved bunny siblings who star in their own show on Nick Jr.

About this title

About the Author:

Rosemary Wells is the author of more than 40 books about Max and Ruby. She lives in Connecticut.

From Booklist:

There are more than 40 books about the bunny Max and his rivalry with his big sister, Ruby. Here, once again, the little rebel is ignored and belittled, until he triumphs in the end, often with the support of Grandma. In one scenario, Max and Ruby beg for bedtime stories, and Grandma tells them three stories about themselves. In another, Ruby and her friend Louise play restaurant, and Max refuses their offer to be dishwasher. Instead, he whips up a terrific dessert––chocolate mousse made with shampoo and potting soil––much to Grandma’s delight. Max also triumphs over the authority-figure lifeguard at the lake, proving that a small kid can perform a heroic rescue. The detailed pictures, composed of ink, watercolor, colored pencil, and collage, include lots of white space that highlights the siblings’ stand-offs, and it is the moments of meanness and rebellion that make the story’s snuggly conclusion so cozy. Preschool-Grade 1. --Hazel Rochman
