"Goodnight, Max," says Max's sister Ruby. But Max can't get comfortable. First he spills a glass of water. Then there are all those itchy cookie crumbs in his bed?and the moon shining through his window. Will poor Max ever fall asleep? Rosemary Wells 's beloved Max and Ruby are back in an irresistibly touchable book that is also a satisfying bedtime story. Toddlers won't be able to resist all the tactile elements--fourteen tempting things to touch, move, even smell--while a gently humorous story makes this the perfect book for bedtime, naptime, or anytime!

We have seen this cartoon episode of Max and Ruby. Actually, it is one of my least favorite TV episodes because Ruby is doing what a parent should be for the whole story. But, in book format, that is less of a focus. This book focuses on all the things preventing Max from sleeping, and Ruby is more in the background (rather than being interrupted in her own efforts to sleep). The interactive elements are fun because they are so unique to the story, such as blankets, curtains, and sticky spots.

WE like to read good night books, since we read at bedtime. This one is neat, there are touchy feely pages, like sticky pajamas, a window that opens and shuts, a net for the fly swatter.

I chose this story because of its interactive features. These sensory features can help a child understand, focus, and come to love this book. This book can be relatable to kids who struggle to go to bed, serving as a good example to follow. Overall, the story, illustrations, and sensory interactive features makes this a great book for young children.
