review 1: Not sure about this series--I've read a couple, but they just don't click for me. In this episode, Max the duck has become part of the family with Brody the (sheep?)dog, Irene the human, and a whole lot of other animals and gets roped into babysitting for Brody's niece. Has cute elements, but again, just doesn't quite mesh for me. I think there are too many animals (I find it hard to keep characters names' straight) to be able to really identify with them.
review 2: When Brody's niece Anabel comes for a visit, Max and the gang's only job is to keep her out of trouble. How hard could it be to babysit a puppy anyway? To Max's surprise, this fun-loving pup can't help getting into trouble—especially when set loose in the backyard. Turns out being a “sitting duc... morek” is a lot harder than Max expected! In this hilarious Max the Duck book, children will delight in the silly mayhem that results when Max tries to be a good babysitter. I didn't really like this book for read-aloud. I thought the dialogue was confusing and it was hard to identify which character was saying what. less
