Praise for Max and Ruby's Bedtime Book

"Brightly illustrated and filled with her customary cheer, Wells's latest Max and Ruby book should entice both old and new fans of these lively siblings, and leave them hoping that this isn't really 'the end of the end.'"—Publishers Weekly

"Added to one's home collection, this book is sure to be requested at many bedtimes."—Children's Literature

"Punchy dialogue serves this inviting and oversized layout well; light pastel spreads suit each whimsical story line and its sweetly realized conclusion. A solid selection particularly for those already enamored by this lovable bunny duo."—School Library Journal

"This short-story collection from the steady hand of Wells displays the mischievous sweetness of the Max and Ruby stories with their candy-heart coloring."—Kirkus Reviews

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in New York City, Rosemary Wells grew up in a house "filled with books, dogs, and nineteenth-century music." Her childhood years were spent between her parents' home near Red Bank, New Jersey, and her grandmother's rambling stucco house on the Jersey Shore. Most of her sentimental memories, both good and bad, stem from that place and time. Her mother was a dancer in the Russian Ballet, and her father a playwright and actor. Mrs. Wells says, "Both my parents flooded me with books and stories. My grandmother took me on special trips to the theater and museums in New York. “Rosemary Wells's career as an author and illustrator spans more than 30 years and 60 books. She has won numerous awards, and has given readers such unforgettable characters as Max and Ruby, Noisy Nora, and Yoko. She has also given Mother Goose new life in two enormous, definitive editions, published by Candlewick. Wells wrote and illustrated Unfortunately Harriet, her first book with Dial, in 1972. One year later she wrote the popular Noisy Nora. "The children and our home life have inspired, in part, many of my books. Our West Highland white terrier, Angus, had the shape and expressions to become Benjamin and Tulip, Timothy, and all the other animals I have made up for my stories." Her daughters Victoria and Beezoo were constant inspirations, especially for the now famous "Max" board book series. "Simple incidents from childhood are universal," Wells says. "The dynamics between older and younger siblings are common to all families."But not all of Wells' ideas come from within the family circle. Many times when speaking, Mrs. Wells is asked where her ideas come from. She usually answers, "It's a writer's job to have ideas." Sometimes an idea comes from something she reads or hears about, as in the case of her recent book, Mary on Horseback, a story based on the life of Mary Breckenridge, who founded the Frontier Nursing Service. Timothy Goes to School was based on an incident in which her daughter was teased for wearing the wrong clothes to a Christmas concert. Her dogs, west highland terriers, Lucy and Snowy, work their way into her drawings in expression and body position. She admits, "I put into my books all of the things I remember. I am an accomplished eavesdropper in restaurants, trains, and gatherings of any kind. These remembrances are jumbled up and changed because fiction is always more palatable than truth. Memories become more true as they are honed and whittled into characters and stories."

5.0 out of 5 stars Granddaughter loves Max & Ruby!
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2014

Our granddaughter just turned two and she loves Max & Ruby. We have several of the books and DVDs and she is enthralled with all of them. Max& Ruby are her most favorite DVDs as she doesn't want to watch anything else. Highly recommend this book and any other Max & Ruby items. The simple, low key and pleasant stories are perfect for little ones. Too much on tv/dvd for kids today is frenetically paced, high energy, loud and obnoxious. Not so with Max & Ruby. She is a very busy two year-old yet, they always hold her interest without the loud, attention grabbing tactics of some shows. Sweet stories in the books seem to match up to some of the DVDs. Max & Ruby always show tolerance and understanding even when little brother Max is getting under big sister Ruby's skin....and the stories always end up with little Max having something to offer his bigger and "all-knowing" sister Ruby. Our granddaughter even plays pretend Max & Ruby story lines on her own.....so fun to watch her incorporate some of their antics into her own play. Based on our granddaughter's love of all things Max & Ruby, I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet stories

I have a two-year-old daughter who was recently introduced to Rosemary Wells by way of her Bunny Planet books while visiting grandparents. As that was a huge hit I decided to give something else by Rosemary Wells a try. Since then we have bought or checked out from the library a number of Max and Ruby books.
This is a lovely book with 3 stories involving Max and Ruby. The thread tying them together is that Grandma agrees to tell them a bedtime story and then they beg for another, and finally another, before they fall asleep.
If you have read and enjoyed other Max and Ruby books, you will find much familiar here, with Max always finding his own way to do things. As my two-year-old likes to say, "Silly Max!"
A downside to this book is that it at least with my daughter, if you stop after the first or second story, you will get quite a bit of protest. "Finish it!" If you buy this book, you can expect to have to read it over and over as it will be asked for.
Other Max and Ruby favorites: Bunny Mail and Bunny Cakes. Max's Dragon Shirt is not bad either. Max's Clean Up isn't quite as big a hit with our family.

I raised my daughter on Max and Ruby books and we fell in love with them. She is now 26 and we still look back on them fondly. I bought these for the small two year old daughter of my daughter's friend and she is thrilled with them as well. Adults will delight in the deadpan, tongue in cheek humor of this witty author. No child's library is complete without Max and Ruby!

This was a replacement for the same book that had seen better days. I have read this book every night to my children for 4 years (yes I know it off by heart now). I think it’s a good length and both children are normally asleep by the end of the second story.

Simple illustrations and language. My daughter who is a big fan of the Max and Ruby series loves this book to bits. My 6 month old baby is intrigued by the illustrations too.
It has paper cover back and was slightly damaged on delivery though.

We love this book in my house and are big fans of the tv show. Ruby is just the most organised, sensible little rabbit ever! My daughter (5)goes around imitating Ruby and pretending that her younger sister (3) is Max! There are three stories included, one where Ruby sets up a play restaurant, in another Max and Ruby go swimming and in the final one Max brings an airplane to school.
My kids love the tv show so I wanted to try one of the books that it is based on. I found the book to be very like the tv show, with a similar tone and pacing. The illustrations are a tiny bit different but just as enjoyable with plenty of illustrations per page.
