Great Illustrations; Simple Story and Characters

No big time social messages or sensitivity lessons here. Just a story about two kids who are new neighbors and who each have normal levels of healthy goofiness. Great illustrations, contemporary settings, simple story with a plot but no tension, drama, or irony. An easy reader for the advanced first grader or the average second grader. I've also read it aloud several times and found that my kids do not tire of these endearing characters. There are other books with these characters in the series.

Addie Meets Max

My own two boys and numerous classes of my kindergarten children have truly enjoyed this book! It is the wonderful tale of a new friendship that starts out with a very bumpy beginning. This book lends itself quite easily to dramatic readings which my kinderkids thoroughly enjoy. I am delighted to find that there are two more books about Addie!

Addie and Max

Addie and Max is a great book for all the little ones around your house. This book shows that you can't judge someone (and their dog) before you get to know them. You never know, they could turn out to be your best friend. A good lesson to be learned from this little book. For that reason I rated the book a five.
