The Max books are among my favorites for small children, and this one is no exception. While it explores concepts like "over," "under," etc., at the same time it includes interesting illustrations and a story line that preschoolers and their parents can relate to (Max is afraid of his birthday present -- a windup dragon -- at first, but after running away from it for several pages, in the end says, "Again!"). In all of the Max books that we have read so far, the author incorporates amusing common childhood traits into an entertaining story that everyone can relate to. This book gets my vote for one that parents and children will enjoy reading together, over and over.

I bought this for my nephew Max for his birthday. He loves books and liked the pictures, but I have to say I don't know why the book talks more about a lobster than his actual birthday. It's also very short. But great for really young kids who have a short attention span. Now my nephew know what a lobster is.

Max's Bday is another wonderful little Max book for children and adults. They capture a young child's world with humor and empathy. As Max asserts his "needs," Ruby perceives them as "wants" much like parents. I am a child/family psychologist and I use the Max and Ruby books frequently.The first editions of the Max series (Very First Books - 1979/1984) are wonderful. Unfortunately, the following editions are not as whimsical.It's worth it to look for the older books.

We are huge Max/Ruby fans but this story really has nothing to do to with birthdays, it is so off topic it is almost entertaining should be Max and his lobster as opposed to max and his birthday.

These early Max and Ruby books are the best. I read the board books to my own children (now 26 and 30) and we read them to disintegration. I wanted to get a set for my grandchildren.

Max and his sister Ruby are back. Max unwraps Ruby's gift - a large wind-up mechanical lobster - and is startled as it seems to chase him around the house. As always, Rosemary Wells delights young listeners with her surprise ending and simple dialog. I read this to my day care children and the 1 and 3 year olds love it. Adults will enjoy the details such as the party outfits decorated with cake and ice cream and Max's facial expressions. And when your children want to hear this book over and over, it's a quick read aloud.

My kids loved this book when they were little, so I was excited to buy a copy for my grandson, but I was disappointed to see that the toy Max receives from his sister Ruby is a clockwork lobster, not the clockwork dragon that was in the original story! It's still a cute story, but the dragon was a lot more appealing. What kid wants a toy lobster?

This book was a hit for my granddaughters first birthday! Up dated illustrations made it just as much fun for her as it did for my son 18 years ago.
