review 1: Max hates his picture books, so he’s throwing them away. He hates the lessons they’ve taught him (HE got in trouble for writing on the walls) and the things in them aren’t real (don’t eat green ham) But as Max tells you why he hates certain books, he learns an invaluable lesson, and we see how very important those childhood picture books really are. This was a nostalgic trip for me, from books I read myself, to my children and now recommend to friends and patrons. The illustrator has skillfully re-drawn lots of iconic book images placing Max in them. So delightful. One of my all time favorites. For all ages!
review 2: This is a must read book for anyone who works with kids, reads to kids, or just remembers what it was like to be enchanted with a ... morestory. The novel flips through the story of a young boy who claims to hate picturebooks because of how they have misled him in life, and the ending is as charming as you would expect. Throughout the book I smiled as I realized which books he was referring to, and remembered my own memories of discovering the tales. I am definitely ordering this one for my library. less
