Max learns that writing is similar to language because they are both used to communicate with others. This book is helpful to use with beginning writers.

"Bunny Cakes" by Rosemary Wells is a cute story about siblings Max and Ruby who want to make a cake for their grandma's birthday. Max makes an earthworm cake. Ruby, however, wants to make an angel surprise cake with raspberry-fluff icing and recruits Max to help. Clumsy Max keeps spilling

ingredients so his sister sends him to the store multiple times with a list to pick up things. Each time Max goes to the store he tries to add "red-hot marshmallow squirters" to the list in his best handwriting but the grocer can never read what he wrote. With each accident Max makes, Ruby further excludes him from making the cake until she won't even allow him in the kitchen. Finally, Max draws a picture of "red-hot marshmallow squirters" and the grocer understands him. With both Max's and Ruby's cakes complete, they give them to their grandma who loves them both.

This story has wonderful pictures and a clever storyline that shows that two different people can work together. It also shows the payoff of persistance.

I gave this book 5 stars because it is relevant to sisters with little brothers who are always playing with their toys or making messes. Max and Ruby are really great for kids because they are always getting into funny situations and making finally resolving them. This book is good for beginning

writers because Max has to communicate by drawing pictures because he is not able to communicate by writing letters. It could also be used to talk about the ingredients in a cake.

Max is more of a pest than helpful. Ruby does what any motherly sister would do. Just right for a younger audience.

This book, however may not be a great example of literature for children, is great for teaching children about persistence and determination. Max wanted to get a certain food from the grocery store, but the man working at the grocery store did not understand what it was that he wanted. So trip

after trip the man still did not understand what he wanted, but Max did not give up and still continued to try to and get what he wanted. This is a great lesson to teach to young children. They can learn at a young age to keep with their passions and to continue to do what they want.

Another Max and Ruby picture book, this series is very adorable definitely good for read aloud books for first or second graders.

Bunny Cakes is a story about two bunny characters, Max and Ruby, who are making a cake for their grandmother. Ruby tries to make a cake but Max always messes something up in the kitchen.

sister. Max takes the opportunity to write down Red-Hot Marshmallow Squirters.

Rosemary Wells does a good job of giving both Max and Ruby each a distinct personality. Max is a mischievous and messy little boy. In the pictures though, Max seems to enjoy making a mess of the things he messes up. Ruby, on the other hand, is very assertive and controlling. She gets angry at Max for messing up the ingredients for the cake. I personally love Max. He is what nearly every little boy is. I understand Ruby's attitude toward her brother but it can be a little too much. The book is short and each page contains only a couple of words. The picture really describes the scenes that the author conveys.

James patiently sat all the way through this one...a rare treat for dad. Got to read him a whole book!

I found this book to be really cute and depict the relationship between a brother (Max) and sister (Ruby). The simplicity of the story's plot is what makes this book so great for new and young readers. It is easy for young children to follow along without getting lost in the story, while also

keeping it lighthearted. The characters are both male and female so it is great for both genders to connect with. I also enjoyed the relationship Max and Ruby have. It is very clear by the bunny's sizes that Ruby is older than Max, but she is very patient with him and does not get mad or yell at him for breaking/dropping almost every ingredient. This shows the reader to control his or her emotions and how to properly deal with situations that upset them. The last thing I enjoyed about this book were the pictures. I found them to be very colorful and basically told the story themselves. This is great for a new/young reader to connect the story to and look at if confused or lost.

This book is great to connect fantasy characters and predictable text. This is done by different events that have all the same outcome. This is helpful for beginner reader to have that confidence and enjoy a fictional book.

It's Grandma's birthday, and Max wants to make her an icky, worm-infested cake. But Ruby says, "No, Max. We are going to make Grandma an angel surprise cake, with raspberry-fluff icing." Will Max let his bossy older sister keep him out of the kitchen? Or will they both become bunnies who bake?

This is a library book that I read and re-read and re-re-read .... for my youngest. It's from the 'Max and Ruby' television series (for younger viewers) about two rabbits, and I think we've seen this particular episode a couple of times. Whatever the reason, he loved the book.

It's Granny's

birthday, and responsible Ruby and silent Max have very different ideas about what kind of cake to make for her. How will Max (who doesn't talk or write yet) get the ingredients he wants to buy for his cake?

This book ties in directly to the same episode (as I remember it). Each page has a large illustration, presumably taken from the television show, with a couple of lines of the story underneath. Beginning readers can read Ruby's shopping lists. It's a nice story, and I think it helps that kids can identify with it, if they have seen the series on television. I'm giving it four stars, as it is fun and entertaining.
