All Max wants to do is eat the chocolate chicken that someone left in the birdbath one fine spring morning. But “wait, Max,” his sister Ruby says, “First we go on an egg hunt.” Max does his best to play along, but when Ruby finds all the eggs-and he finds only ants and acorns-he shows her what can happen when you put all your eggs in one basket!

Our favorite Max and Ruby book!
I raised my daughter on Max and Ruby books and we fell in love with them. She is now 26 and we still look back on them fondly. I bought these for the small two year old daughter of my daughter’s friend and she is thrilled too. Rosemary Wells has a deadpan, tongue in cheek humor that will delight adults just as much ( if not more!). No child’s library is complete without Max and Ruby!

Fond Memories
This book, as well as several of the Rosemary Wells books, was a staple in our home when our kids were little – we loved the humor and pictures of Max in his pursuit of the Chocolate Chicken! Based on the fond memories, I purchased this book for my grandson in hopes of sharing the same joy of reading it with him.

A great book about Max
I love the Rosemary Wells books because Max can be so pesky and still wins at the end. Illustrations are great. They are gentle and funny and feel very true if you have a sibling! And yet it all works out in the end thanks to the Easter Bunny. Adorable and fun Easter tradition for our family.

This book is great. My son fell in love with it during an extended stay at the hospital. The hospital library carried it and we bought a copy for home becase he was so attached to it.
