  <description><![CDATA[How we love Max--the mischievous toddler rabbit who is often battling  wits and wills with his bossy-boots older sister Ruby. Now it's time for the  siblings' Easter egg hunt! Just as the festivities are about to begin, a  secretive Easter Bunny places a huge chocolate chicken in the birdbath. &quot;I  love you,&quot; Max innocently declares to the edible chicken he covets. &quot;Wait Max,&quot; warns Ruby. &quot;First we must go on an egg hunt. If you find the most eggs then you get the chocolate chicken.&quot; But Max, who is still young enough to be distracted by mud puddles and  marching ants, can't possibly focus on finding a single egg. When it becomes  obvious that Ruby has collected the most (if not all) of the Easter eggs, Max  takes drastic measures--as the youngest sibling often will--and steals the  chicken. Rosemary Wells's expressive, giggle-funny illustrations (along with the board-book format) make this a perfect Easter story for toddlers as well as  preschoolers, who will delight in Max's blatant misbehavior and relish the  inevitable happy ending.

Max and Ruby are brother and sister.  Ruby finds all of the eggs, while Max doesn't find any.  Max runs back and hides from Ruby.

    <body><![CDATA[I don't like Max.  He's rude, disrespectful and in this book takes something that isn't his, EATS it and then never apologizes.  It's all passed off as cute and funny.  Stealing is not funny.  It's not cute.  Apologies and making things right are important.

    <![CDATA[How we love Max--the mischievous toddler rabbit who is often battling  wits and wills with his bossy-boots older sister Ruby. Now it's time for the  siblings' Easter egg hunt! Just as the festivities are about to begin, a  secretive Easter Bunny places a huge chocolate chicken in the birdbath. &quot;I  love you,&quot; Max innocently declares to the edible chicken he covets. &quot;Wait Max,&quot; warns Ruby. &quot;First we must go on an egg hunt. If you find the most eggs then you get the chocolate chicken.&quot; But Max, who is still young enough to be distracted by mud puddles and  marching ants, can't possibly focus on finding a single egg. When it becomes  obvious that Ruby has collected the most (if not all) of the Easter eggs, Max  takes drastic measures--as the youngest sibling often will--and steals the  chicken. Rosemary Wells's expressive, giggle-funny illustrations (along with the board-book format) make this a perfect Easter story for toddlers as well as  preschoolers, who will delight in Max's blatant misbehavior and relish the  inevitable happy ending.

    <![CDATA[How we love Max--the mischievous toddler rabbit who is often battling  wits and wills with his bossy-boots older sister Ruby. Now it's time for the  siblings' Easter egg hunt! Just as the festivities are about to begin, a  secretive Easter Bunny places a huge chocolate chicken in the birdbath. &quot;I  love you,&quot; Max innocently declares to the edible chicken he covets. &quot;Wait Max,&quot; warns Ruby. &quot;First we must go on an egg hunt. If you find the most eggs then you get the chocolate chicken.&quot; But Max, who is still young enough to be distracted by mud puddles and  marching ants, can't possibly focus on finding a single egg. When it becomes  obvious that Ruby has collected the most (if not all) of the Easter eggs, Max  takes drastic measures--as the youngest sibling often will--and steals the  chicken. Rosemary Wells's expressive, giggle-funny illustrations (along with the board-book format) make this a perfect Easter story for toddlers as well as  preschoolers, who will delight in Max's blatant misbehavior and relish the  inevitable happy ending. (Baby to preschool) <em>--Gail Hudson</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[How we love Max--the mischievous toddler rabbit who is often battling  wits and wills with his bossy-boots older sister Ruby. Now it's time for the  siblings' Easter egg hunt! Just as the festivities are about to begin, a  secretive Easter Bunny places a huge chocolate chicken in the birdbath. &quot;I  love you,&quot; Max innocently declares to the edible chicken he covets. &quot;Wait Max,&quot; warns Ruby. &quot;First we must go on an egg hunt. If you find the most eggs then you get the chocolate chicken.&quot; But Max, who is still young enough to be distracted by mud puddles and  marching ants, can't possibly focus on finding a single egg. When it becomes  obvious that Ruby has collected the most (if not all) of the Easter eggs, Max  takes drastic measures--as the youngest sibling often will--and steals the  chicken. Rosemary Wells's expressive, giggle-funny illustrations (along with the board-book format) make this a perfect Easter story for toddlers as well as  preschoolers, who will delight in Max's blatant misbehavior and relish the  inevitable happy ending. (Baby to preschool) <em>--Gail Hudson</em>]]>
