From the Publisher

Like many children, Max and Ruby want to hear story after story before bed, and Grandma complies in this compilation of three adventures. Grandma tells of the time Ruby and her friend Louise opened Cafe Ruby-Lou; the day Max saved Louise's sister Lily's doll from drowning; and Max and Lily's trip to playschool in a toy airplane, each of which she claims will be "the last story." Brightly illustrated and filled with her customary cheer, Wells's latest Max and Ruby book should entice both old and new fans of these lively siblings, and leave them hoping that this isn't really "the end of the end." Ages 4-8. (Sept.)

Publishers Weekly

PreS-Gr 1—When Grandma reads a bedtime story to her grandchildren, one story morphs into three dynamic tales, each starring these irresistible rabbit siblings. The ever-helpful, yet exasperating Max tries to assert his independence with humorous results. In "Ruby's Restaurant," he tries desperately to include himself in the imaginative dinner his sister and her friend prepare, though he is halted at every opportunity. Max's persistence reveals a child-centered perspective as he concocts a positively gross creation of chocolate mousse for dessert (combining dirt, shampoo, and bird-seed shavings) to his accepting grandmother's loving satisfaction. Max's heroism shines in "Splish Splash" when he saves his friend Lily's dolly from the lake's disastrous depths and reaps a refreshing reward, a savory cherry-lemon-lime rainbow pop. In "Max Goes to School," Max and Lily refuse to attend playschool and sit idly in their toy airplane, much to their older sisters' dismay. With the girls lending a helping hand, Max and his friend experience the best of both worlds—school in their airplane. Punchy dialogue serves this inviting and oversized layout well; light pastel spreads suit each whimsical story line and its sweetly realized conclusion. A solid selection particularly for those already enamored by this lovable bunny duo.—Meg Smith, Cumberland County Public Library, Fayetteville, NC

School Library Journal

This short-story collection from the steady hand of Wells displays the mischievous sweetness of the Max and Ruby stories with their candy-heart coloring, but each could have used a few more pages to bring the stories fully around. The first of the three bedtime stories delivered by Grandma finds Max getting handed, as is his destiny, the raw end of the stick from Ruby when she and her friend Louise open a café: Max gets to be the dishwasher. Max's ascent to chefdom, by associating chocolate mousse with baby shampoo, will fly over lots of little heads. In the second tale, Max, who can't swim, jumps into the lake—with safety tube, yes—to rescue a friend's doll. Fear may give sudden instincts of skill, but Max doesn't look wracked by fear, just his standard willfulness. The final story has Max refusing to get out of his airplane to go to playschool, so he just goes to school in the plane. Fun as the stories may be, they miss the inspired twists that make Max such an artful dodger. (Picture book. 3-5)
