Common Sense Review<br />

Reviewed By: Karyn Wellhousen<br />

Wells, Rosemary.<br />

FIC .033 WEL<br />

Max exhibits an important stage of learning to read <strong>and</strong> write as he invents his own symbol to get his message<br />

across. When children scribble a message <strong>and</strong> expect adults to be able to read it, they are demonstrating their<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing that people communicate through written symbols. With support from adults <strong>and</strong> meaningful<br />

opportunities to engage in pretend writing, they gradually begin to recognize traditional symbols, such as the<br />

letters of the alphabet.<br />

Ruby <strong>and</strong> Max's use of written symbols is integral to the storyline <strong>and</strong> a focal point of the illustrations. Writing is<br />

further emphasized by close-up insets of the yellow-lined paper <strong>and</strong> the written messages of both characters.<br />

Rosemary Wells's cartoonlike style of drawing <strong>and</strong> her expressive bunny characters keep children pleading,<br />

"Read it again!"<br />

Max's Dragon Shirt is is another Max <strong>and</strong> Ruby adventure. Children can learn more about words <strong>and</strong> writing<br />

through books that label pictured objects, such as Richard Scarry's Best Little Word Book.<br />

From The Book:<br />

This time Max wrote "Red-Hot Marshmallow Squirters" in a different way. Max hoped <strong>and</strong> hoped for his Squirters,<br />

but the grocer still couldn't read Max's writing.<br />

Plot Summary:<br />

Max has not yet learned to talk, read, or write, so how can he convey his yearning for Red-Hot Marshmallow<br />

Squirters? Cleverly, he takes his cue from older sister Ruby, who proficiently uses signs <strong>and</strong> symbols to<br />

communicate. Max experiences the frustration of learning a difficult skill, but finds out that persistence <strong>and</strong><br />

ingenuity make it possible to achieve new goals.<br />
