The Adventures of Max and Pinky: Best Buds
Grade 1–3—Max, a bald, Charlie Brown look-alike, and Pinky, a pig, are best friends, so when Pinky disappears, his pal is worried. However, with a little thinking and common sense, Max figures out just where to find his porcine pal. With minimal bold lines and bright colors, Eaton has created a humorous story of an unusual friendship. Max is fun, creative, and adventurous, while Pinky's one-track mind keeps him focused on consuming as many marshmallows as possible. Children will laugh at the silly conversations and at the funny art. The cartoon pictures offer an explanation of the simple text while the dialogue is a little more advanced.Max and Pinkywill delight both readers and listeners.—Delia Carruthers, Sunset Ridge Middle School, West Jordan, UTCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
