magical story from my childhood…always fondly remembered.

Who didn’t read this book as a child? I know I did – repeatedly, and was somewhat amazed to discover it on my shelf last week and realize that I hadn’t yet read it to my son. At seven, he’s actually a bit old for it now, but it turns out his teacher at school has read it to the class, so he’d heard it before. And we definitely enjoyed it. The artwork is delightful, and it’s such a cute story. Especially since my little guy has rather a lot of Max in him, if the truth be told. 10/10

this was my ex’s favorite book as a kid. i used to read him this over the phone before bed. i’m such a dork!
