Funny, tender and captivating!

My children and I love Marissa Moss's AMELIA'S NOTEBOOK series and we are thrilled to have these two equally wonderful MAX titles as well. Max is a smart and sensitive character who kids easily relate to and Moss is a magician when it comes to transforming Max's feelings into funny, engaging, colorful art and literature. Max's observations of human nature (and of science!) are keenly insightful, poignantly kid-like and often hilarious, all at once -- no easy feat. Each page of these books contains a world of complexity, and the zany, endearing robots and eraser people Moss/Max invents masterfully reflect and crystallize Max's emotional world. It is refreshing and a joy to come upon books with so much heart and intelligence, and we are grateful to Ms. Moss for creating them! Brava and keep 'em coming.
