Max, the family cat, is full of mischief and always seems to have something up its sleeve. One day, Max slyly hitches a ride to its family\u2019s trip to the town. The family know they must find a way to stop Max from putting itself in dangerous situations. But Max is one determined cat. Clark tells this story of family time, silliness, and fun in an expressive verse. There is drama, play, and daring excursions. The rhyming verse beautifully captures Max\u2019s free spirit and utter determination. The conflict gets resolved quickly, and the apt portrayal of Max\u2019s fun personality makes the book an endearing read. Paired with Blueberry Illustrations\u2019 fun renderings of the pair of the young sisters and the playful, mischievous Max, the result is impossible to fault. Parents thinking of getting their little one a scurfy companion would do well to add this to their story time stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Max Goes to Town: Based on a True Story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Cynthia L Clark (Author), Blueberry illustrations (Illustrator)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Max-Goes-Town-Based-Story\/dp\/1977244394\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outskirts Press<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date July 2, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 978-1977244390<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $12,13 (USD) Paperback, $3.95 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorful, compelling, and fun\u2026 Deliciously readable.
