Book Reviews of Bunny Party (Max and Ruby)
Book Review: An example of acceptance
Summary: 3 Stars
the max and ruby series has been around for a while. written and illustrated by rosemary wells, who was recommended to me by a long-time children's librarian, this short book, published by puffin in 2003 and suitable for babies to preschoolers, features the popular pair of siblings hosting a birthday party for their beloved grandma. ruby is the older of the two, seven and bossy like older sisters can be while max is three, playful and tries to cleverly circumvent the instructions given by her.
as ruby seats the seven stuffed toy guests at the table, max keeps switching wands, wigs, and wings to disguise the uninvited guests - his three toys: jellyball shooter spider, ear-splitter space cadet and can't-sit-up slug. the book is great for kids learning to count, like this one. i'm not a big fan of bunnies in general but the artwork is colorful and carefully thought out and wells pays attention to small details like decorating the numbers labeling the guests. ruby wonders if she's having a bad counting day but when grandma shows up and finds the three uninvited guests, she exclaims, "how exciting!" and makes sure they all have "their snappers and their candy kisses and their favorite flavors of ice cream."
the story relies on the classic theme of sibling relationship, getting laughs from the attempts to outsmart the older sibling. it also teaches acceptance, showing that kids must welcome uninvited (and harmless) guests to parties.
