“Max’s Dragon may well intrigue a child just beginning to glimpse the possibility that words, like toys, if put together just so, can ignite a thrilling magic of their own.” —The New York Times Book Review
"Another winner from the pair that introduced Max in
Max's Words. Amusing wordplay and impish illustrations play off each other in perfect syncopation." —
Starred, Kirkus Reviews

"The playful couplets will keep early readers and listeners engaged and anticipating each new pair." —The Horn Book
"This is a great book, combining two things children will love to do, rhyme and imagine."
—Times Record News
“A wonderful introduction to poetry for young children.” —Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
