review 1: I have not read the first two books in this series, but found this while browsing for storytime books and thought it looked fun. Max finds some forgotten wooden alphabet blocks in his room and he and his brothers uses their imagination to create a castle with the blocks forming words that make up the features of the castle. I loved the illustrations of this fun and creative book, though it was a bit too long for my son. Recommended for ages 4-8, 3 stars.
review 2: This is a very clever story in which Max builds a castle using alphabet blocks. It's a little above my 5 year old's head. To fully appreciate the book, one would need to be able to read the words spelled out on the blocks. I'm careful to point out the words each time I read the book,even though he ... morecan't read yet. Regardless, he still loves the book and brings it back to me to read again and again. less
