Big Shaggy Max

Alex is a friendly third grader who forgets his homework, loses his jacket, and often runs late. He doesnt mean to get into trouble. Its like trouble finds him. He dreams of one day having a dog, but his parents refuse. Dogs are a lot of work, and Alex is way too irresponsible to take care of a petor so they think. Alex is determined to prove them wrong.

Tanenbaum and Zaslow have created a story that is sure to stimulate plenty of meaningful classroom and bedroom discussions about the importance of community and how even little kids can do BIG things!

I love it when we can show children how to find their way in the world and make reasonable choices. This is a wonderful book for all children.
