A very typical Max and Ruby book. All of the stories were cute (although, I wasn't real big on the one where Max dives into the water without knowing how to swim), and my nephew just thinks the Max and Ruby books are only this tiny bit below a good superhero book. They are go-to books for him, especially, I've noticed, when he seems to be having to process more difficult emotions, or when he's feeling kind of blue. These are comforting and soothing books for him, and I think they can really make little kids feel more in control of their world. Max can kind of be their little hero.
