Synopsis

"MAX THE FLYING SAUSAGE DOG IS BACK IN AN ADORABLE NEW PICTURE BOOK FOR YOUNGER READERS!"

A fun introduction to Max and Tom’s story, Tom’s Birthday Tail is a fun read for little ones who aren’t quite ready for sharing or reading chapter books just yet. With big, clear text and full page illustrations, there is plenty to look at and talk about as you read. Yet again, Arthur Robins has brought the book to life with his illustrative magic that is just perfect for this style of book.Each page of the story has a couple of lines of story followed by a question for the reader either about themselves or the story. I love how interactive this makes the book – it’s not just me reading to Tori and Arthur, they get to join in and have a say without having to do any reading themselves.That said, the chunky, simple text is perfect for Arthur at the moment. He is just learning to read and being able to read a Max book all by himself has made him a very happy boy indeed. Plus he LOVES making me answer all the questions as he reads it aloud!This little book is great for introducing the world of Max The Flying Sausage Dog to younger readers and is a wonderful addition to the collection for those of us who are already fans.
