This sweet little book offers a nice way to tie reading with your child into the change of seasons. In its story, as Max and Ruby sweep leaves, Ruby wants to save the best ones for his leaf collection while Max just wants to jump in the piles. Eventually, however, Max finds just the specimen Ruby needs, as an aspen leaf falls into his hands.The paperback has a nice printing job, too. The cover features eight copper leaves printed in reflective metallic ink.
We are big fans of the Max and Ruby books by Rosemary Wells. Her books are clever and sweet and I don't get tired of reading them over and over to my daughter. But, this is a knock-off book. It's Max and Ruby but, it's not written by Rosemary Wells. I found it totally lacking in the creativity and humor that I've come to enjoy from Ms. Wells and would not recommend this book. It's dull and makes Max sound ridiculous.
This is certainly not my favorite Max and Ruby book, but my son likes it really well, and in the end that's what counts. This book is based on an episode of the Max and Ruby cartoon, where Ruby is trying to find the leaves she needs to complete her leaf book. Max, of course, both hinders and helps her. As a cartoon, it's really sweet, but I don't think it translates particularly well as a written story. That said, it's still a cute and classic Max and Ruby tale, my son really enjoys reading it together, and it fits nicely with the changing seasons. If he wasn't such a Max and Ruby fan, I'm not sure that he would be so interested in it. My son is 2 now, but I think he'll still enjoy reading it for the next few years.
We love Max and Ruby. Ruby's Falling Leaves however, misses the charm & humor of the others we have read. Even the illustrations are lacking compared the original Max&Ruby books.It is wordy and monotonous.
As always, this Max and Ruby book is very good. Great pictures and story that keeps the little ones interested. It is a great seasonal book as well as an everyday read.
Ruby's Falling Leaves (Max and Ruby)Great Children's FALL SEASON book! I bought two copies, one for my Grandson ( age, 20 months old ) and one copy for my Niece and Nephew ( ages 2 and 5 years old ).They all love this book. The Bookcover has pretty foiled leaves. The story pulls you in as Ruby explains to Max about Fall and what happens in Fall, and that she needs to complete a leaf collection book by finding various leaves. But Max is preoccupied, and a rambunctious little rabbit brother that he is goes looking for leaves as he's preoccupied with "Up" and "Down" and "Up and Over" and simply fascinated with Fall! In his own Playful manner, Max ends up helping Ruby find those leaves she needs for her leaf collection book.My only want with this book is it'd be nice to have a Boardbook copy for the little ones. As boardbooks and toddlers are better suited for eachother. Since its a "Season book", I keep it with the season books separate from the regulars that are out all the time and because it is a softcover, and rather delicate, this keeps the wear to a minimum. 5 Stars for another Max and Ruby Great! :)
My soon to be 3 year old is a huge Max and Ruby fan. Since we couldn't find party supplies (Jaks Pacific was designated in Aug 2007 to do the merchandise so hopefully it will hit store shelves soon)we ordered a bunch of the books as the birthday party "goody bag". This is a great book and an added bonus is that the cover has shiny leaves on it which make for a cute addition to yet another cute Max and Ruby story.
Kids and adults of all ages can enjoy Max and Ruby. This book is one of my favorites along with the Easter Max and Ruby book and the Dragon Shirt book. I teach middle school ESOL students and I guarantee they will enjoy it and smile without feeling slighted and that the book was too childish. Fall!
