Poppy And Max And The Big Wave

Poppy and Max are at the beach. Poppy can't wait to surf the big waves, but Max isn't so sure. He thinks he will be much safer chasing crabs on the sand. But then one crab gets very close to the water . . . and suddenly Max is surfing! Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 2--Max is a dog who doesn't like being cold, wearing clothes, taking long walks, or surfing, but his long list of dislikes never stops him from having interesting adventures with Poppy, his pigtailed best friend. Poppy is an incredibly upbeat girl, and she and her talking pup always have fun despite the terrier's complaining. The books are perfect for children who are reading mostly on their own, but are not quite ready for chapter books. The satisfying stories and charming, detailed illustrations will keep them engaged and entertained. Suggest these titles to fans of Cynthia Rylant's "Henry and Mudge" (S & S). As Poppy would say, "brilliant" additions to any easy-reader collection.--Melinda Piehler, Sawgrass Elementary School, Sunrise, FL Copyright å¨ Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
