 Max's Words
I bought this book because I thought it was cute (the cover intrigued me). I took it to my classroom to share with my lst grade students. They got so excited about it that they thought our class should start a word collection. So I drug out old magazines & newspapers and we began to clip and save the most fascinating words we could find. Then we decided that we should try to invent some sentences just like Max did. It was so much fun! The kids worked together for over an hour for 2 days straight. They came up with several sentences. We posted them in our hallway along with a review of the book. They are so proud! I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has anything to do with children!
Excellent Book!
Shows how words and reading can be fun! My 4 year old loves the book. I donated a copy to his school's library and the librarian loved it too. Why can't there be more books like this out there for young children?? No bad guys, just fun.
Great story
My son Max and I enjoyed this story of the youngest and wildest brother of three who insists on creating a collection of words, after his older brothers refuse to share their collections of stamps and money with him. Max and I both enjoyed the fun that comes from the idea of collecting words. A really fun book with great illustrations.
Recipe to become a writer
I find Max's Words to be an excellent tool for children on how to learn the principles of the structure of a language. The power of this book is that the idea can be adapted to any language. That makes me think that any child using it frequently may become, if not a writer, at least, an avid reader.
Max's Words
I find this to be a delightful story of a little boy that is looking for something to 'collect' just like his older siblings. They have their coin and stamp collections which they refuse to share, so it's up to the youngster to go out and find something of his own. What better collection is there than words?! As a primary, elementary school teacher, I think Max is right on the money, and hopefully my students will think so, too, when I introduce Writer's Workshop to them with a read aloud of 'Max's Words'.
