I have a four year
old great nephew named Max. When I got Max the Brave from Netgalley to read, I
shared it with him. We read it over and over again and laughed and laughed. I
bought two copies of that book, one for our school library, and one for my Max.
In this second
book, it is long past Max's bedtime. Sleepy Max heads off to do his ablutions
before saying goodnight to Fish, Box, Spider, and then Moon.
When Max cannot
find Moon anywhere he sets out on a journey to find it. In the dark night Max
climbs over the sleeping dog, up a high tree, to the rooftops and eventually
onto the tallest building. When he can't find Moon there, Max has to climb to
the highest of the high hills. When Max has finally had enough,
Moon finally
reveals itself. A reassured and now very tired Max, returns home the way he
came.
Ed Vere has embedded
so much sweetness in these books. I love this marriage of images and
words. This is a book
that will make lots of little people and their parents happy. It's the perfect
bedtime story. Purchase it for your library. Gift it to the little people you know. I know what my Max will be getting
for Christmas this year.
Thank you so much
Mr. Vere.
I can hardly wait
for the next installment of Max's adventures.
