Max's Wild Goose Chase

by Sandra J. Philipson, Robert Takatch (Illustrator)

Based on the antics of a real god named Max, Max's Wild Goose Chase is an adventure story set in and around the Chagrin River Valley. Max is an irrepressible Springer Spaniel who is constantly chasing the geese that live along the Chagrin River. Goosie Rough Rock, the goose with a big grudge, plots to get even with Max, but the ending takes an unexpected twist. The book is beautifully illustrated and is appropriate for Kindergarten through fourth grade. The back pages of the book contain fun questions and writing prompts so children can practice writing and create their own stories.

[Thom Weaver · Rating 1 out of 5]

A very poorly-written book by a local author who tries much too hard to be a local author. The quirky Chagrin Falls landmark references are lost on the children who are the target audience.

After reading this book to children, their general response is "Oh, brother! Is this book over yet?"

Just....no.
