review 1: Best for kids ages 4 and up.Early Literacy Skills: Print Motivation, Vocabulary, Phonological Awareness, Narrative SkillsFrom cover:Max is on a quest. He is looking for words that rhyme. His clever couplets take him through a croquet game, into a storm, and onto the trail of a playful dragon. But then the dragon begins to threaten the fun, and there is but one thing to do: Make another rhyme.Cute and funny, kids will love to read about Max and his dragon while learning about words that rhyme.
review 2: Caveat: I haven't read Max's Words, so I'm not sure how this book compares.[return][return]This text felt way too long when reading the book aloud to my daughter. Almost every line is a piece of dialog from one of three boy characters. Their lines are right after
... more another, which makes it difficult to read them in different voices. And the fact that they're all boys around the same age would make that difficult anyway. less
