Reviews

[Leonard · Rating 3 out of 5]

We are big Max & Ruby fans and this is a fine beginning reader, but the longer picture books are more enjoyable.

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute counting story starring our favorite little bunny siblings, Max and Ruby. We've read several books about these characters and even though our girls are moving beyond these stories, we all still like them. Our youngest read this book aloud to us at bedtime.

This one gets an extra star because the rebus pictures got Mini-Me to help me read through the entire book - a rare accomplishment.

Annoying use of pictures instead of words.
