Favorite Author: Rosemary Wells

Rosemary Wells writes a funny series of books that focus on the characters Max and his big sister Ruby.
Isadora has recently been reading the Max and Ruby series by Rosemary Wells. Max, the main character, is always getting into trouble of one kind or another, and his big sister Ruby is always there to try to patch up his mess (although Max usually ends up figuring out things for himself). While the stories are very appealing to Isadora, I also enjoy reading them because the situations are quite funny and memorable. For example, one of our favorites is Bunny Mail where Max tries to write a letter to Santa to tell him he wants a red sandspitter motorcycle. Max can't write yet, so he tries his best to communicate to Santa through a letter what he wants (by putting a tire track, sand, and red paint on the letter). Through many missteps, Max finally gets his beloved motorcycle. This short description really doesn't do it any justice, but I think it conveys the general gist of the plot. Here are our favorites: Bunny Mail, Bunny Cakes, Ruby's Beauty Shop, Max's Dragon Shirt, Bunny Money, and Max Cleans Up. Click here to get to an Amazon list of her books.
