One of the best Max and Ruby books, though the two bunnies aren't distinguishable at the end.

These are run of the mill children's books.

They are not terrible. They are not awesome. If you want a solid buy that no one can object to and that will entertain kiddos through a couple of reads, these are for you.

I'm personally finding that by the fourth book Max's antics and Ruby's all-knowingness as the elder sister is getting on my nerves. But maybe that's just because I'm an adult, and this is now the second book where Max has attempted to dress himself and has failed.

Max puts on all of Ruby’s winter outerwear.

The illustrations are Rosemary Wells’s artwork collaged with photographs and include a silver foil element.

Max and Ruby will always be among my favorite children's book series. I read them as a child, and now I read them to my daughter. Max's mischievous hijinks are always pleasing for parents and their little ones. This book made my daughter request red rain boots. Ha!

This book was about a little child who tries on their bigger siblings clothes. He find out that his clothes fit him better. I personally did not enjoy the book. Helpful with talking about borrowing perhaps.
