- (5/5)Max gets in trouble with his mother and gets sent to his bedroom for the rest his night. He uses his imagination to go to a land where he is a king and continues with his romp. When he starts to feel home sick he returns home where a hot dinner is waiting for him.
- (3/5)It is a nice books. My son liked it but it did not really stuck with him. I think it was a bit overrated. He also got kinda scared at first.
- (4/5)I enjoyed this book because it is relatable to children; They are adventurous and imaginative. The pictures show Maxs' imagination at work while he is leading a group of monsters. I think K-3 would love this book.
- (5/5)This book would be perfect for a read-aloud in grades K-3. I think this would be appropriate for boys, but some girls may find it enjoyable. I could use this book to teach a lesson about fantasy and imagination as well. I see the audience liking this book because it is silly and adventurous. I think they would also like it because it is in Max's point of view, which would be easier to comprehend than in someone else's point of view.
- (5/5)A marvelous adventure in imagination.
- (5/5)Essential childhood reading!
