 | Max's Christmas by Rosemary Wells
It?s Christmas Eve, and big sister Ruby won?t let Max wait up to see Santa Claus. But, as always, the irrepressible Max has his own ideas about that!

Now America?s favorite bunny siblings gladden the season once again in a new board book format, including new cover art and a fresh design. For heightened readability, quotation marks have been introduced into the dialogue in this edition. These changes keep Max and Ruby up-to-date for the next generation of young readers and add luster to a classic that ?will inspire year-round cravings for candy canes.? (Publishers Weekly) Rosemary Wells is one of the most popular creators of children?s books in America. Her recent Max and Ruby titles for Dial include Bunny Cakes, winner of a 1997 Parenting Magazine Reading Magic Award, and Bunny Money, about which School Library Journal said, ?Wells?s droll humor is right on the money.? Rosemary Wells lives in Westchester County, New York. AUTHOR: Rosemary Wells
