I've seen the show Max and Ruby before but I didn't really like it because I thought Max was a problem child. He was always doing something that he had no business doing. This time around, I guess it's Easter and Max finds a chocolate chicken in his birdbath. Ruby tells him that whoever finds the most eggs gets the chocolate chicken. Well, Ruby finds all of the eggs while Max finds a mud puddle, acorns, a spoon and ants. When Max figures out that Ruby is going to win the chocolate chicken, he takes the chicken and runs away and hides from her. He then eats the chicken up and when he finally comes out, he and Ruby find a chocolate duck now sitting on their birdbath. The story is okay but I don't really like how Max acts. He's very stingy and selfish. Ruby was being fair with him but he went off and stole the chocolate chicken from her. Thankfully, someone left a chocolate duck for Ruby. I think some kids will enjoy this book but not all of them will.

As a non-Christian I normally don't bother reading book about Easter, but I thought this one was really cute. Max's sister is just so much better and finding Easter eggs so He must find a different way to get the chocolate chicken prize. The book has cute illustrations that made me smile. ( )

This is the story of max and his friend who find a chocolate chicken in the bird bath. Max and Ruby make a bet that whoever finds the most easter eggs wins the chocolate chicken, but max eats it anyways. In the end, another chocolate chicken is placed in the bird bath and both people get to eat one!

Max loses the contest, but takes the chicken and eats it before she finds him. There is another chocolate chicken waiting on the bird bath. Max tells her he loves her.

Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0140566724, Paperback)

How we love Max--the mischievous toddler rabbit who is often battling wits and wills with his bossy-boots older sister Ruby. Now it's time for the siblings' Easter egg hunt! Just as the festivities are about to begin, a secretive Easter Bunny places a huge chocolate chicken in the birdbath. "I love you," Max innocently declares to the edible chicken he covets. "Wait Max," warns Ruby. "First we must go on an egg hunt. If you find the most eggs then you get the chocolate chicken." But Max, who is still young enough to be distracted by mud puddles and marching ants, can't possibly focus on finding a single egg. When it becomes obvious that Ruby has collected the most (if not all) of the Easter eggs, Max takes drastic measures--as the youngest sibling often will--and steals the chicken. Rosemary Wells's expressive, giggle-funny illustrations (along with the board-book format) make this a perfect Easter story for toddlers as well as preschoolers, who will delight in Max's blatant misbehavior and relish the inevitable happy ending. (Baby to preschool) --Gail Hudson
