Description

To celebrate 40 years of Max and Ruby, we are publishing MAX'S TOYS in a new lap-sized board book format!

Max has five balloons and six cars and seven trucks, but all he wants is Ruby's doll, Emily. And Max almost always gets what he wants.

Published forty years ago, Max's Toys set a new standard in board books. With few words and hilarious illustrations, Rosemary Wells tells a simple story that is just right for a very first book. Showcased in lap-sized board book format, this classic title will delight a new generation.
