I'd seen this story already on the TV show because we used to be avid Max and Ruby watchers when it was on at a different time. The episode follows the book very closely. As usual, Ruby is in charge of something that an older sister shouldn't be, and Max gets his way. But, its still cute.

This is a simple true to life story about eating breakfast (or not eating breakfast). Funny and cute—children (and parents) will relate.

So, we know we're not supposed to make food into an if you eat this then you'll be treated with that scenario, but boy is it fun to watch Max hide his egg as he attempts to eat strawberries. Cavanaugh chants "Bad egg" right along with Max.
I wonder if older sibs like the Max books better? I was an oldest sister and really, really identify with Ruby. My kids adored these books.
Short, funny, and sure to be appreciated by young obstinate/picky eaters.
Ruby tries to get Max to eat breakfast but it's tough going.
Gentle, clever and true to life.
Reasonable choice for a one-off read to my daughter. Wouldn't want it in my permanent collection though.
ruby's treatment of max drives me bonkers
"You can't hide from your egg, Max."
