Book Reviews

Max Makes Pancakes had me laughing out loud. It was a brilliantly inventive portrayal of the whimsical mischief we imagine our dogs getting up to while we are away. My favorite part was when he used his paw to stir the batter. Who knew dogs loved pancakes so much?!

In "Max A Firehouse Dog" author Allen McCaulley leads us on yet another adventure with our whimsical friend, Max the Dog. While Max and his pesky squirrel buddy, Yellow Belly, are playing in the backyard they discover that the neighbor's house is on fire. But what can a dog and a squirrel do to help? Plenty. 

This story takes the reader on a journey of unbridled encouragement while moving with Max from his questioning of "What can I do?" to an attitude of "He knew he could, so he did!"

And what might Max do next? Only time can tell as Author Allen McCaulley once again leaves the reader ready to hear more about the adventures of Max.

After 26 years of teaching preschool, my mind was spinning with ideas of activities to do with children after reading these books.  This is a must for all young children.  We’ve already purchased several copies to share.
