Are you ready to give up your picture books for good?SO is Max!Max hates his picture books, and hes throwing them all away. When things dont go his way and hes sent to bed without dinner for drawing on the wall with his purple crayon, Max begins to question what good are books anyway. His room doesnt turn into a forest or boat, or anything wild, for that matter! And why does green ham in the refrigerator taste so BAD! Every last one goes in the box for the trash . . .But wait, the one where the little bird is returned safely to its nest. That book was the best, as was the one with the flying snowman and the big stack of turtles. Just then Max learns how invaluable imagination is, and has a BIG change of heart. Now go away, so he can read his picture books!Join writer and illustrator Timothy Young for this irreverent and humorous story that both pokes fun at and celebrates many of the classics of childrens literature. Max provides young readers the opportunity to see themselves through the main character and is a great way for children to understand the message and apply it. An easy read for young children, especially children who might be moving away from picture books and on to early readers.
