This cute story follows little Max and his adventures asking different animals for things his family can use. The illustrations are phenomenal and will easily keep young children engaged. Children will learn from both the pictures of the animals and their sounds.

Questions parents ask

My child will not sit still for books. Will this work?

That is the case it was written for. The whole book takes two or three minutes to read aloud. Children who cannot finish a longer story often finish this one, and finishing is what builds the habit.

Is there a Spanish version?

Yes, and there is also a bilingual English and Spanish edition with both languages on the page, for families raising a child in two languages.
