**
Move over, Spot. . . . Spoofing classic primers, Max the Dog talks back
to the book in a twist that will have fans of funny early readers
howling.**
See Max. Max is not a cat--Max is a dog. But much to Max's dismay, the
book keeps instructing readers to "see the cat." How can Max get through
to the book that he is a DOG? In a trio of stories for beginning
readers, author David LaRochelle introduces the excitable Max, who lets
the book know in irresistibly emphatic dialogue that the text is not to
his liking. Illustrator Mike Wohnoutka hilariously depicts the pup's
reactions to the narrator and to the wacky cast of characters who upend
Max's--and readers'--expectations as the three stories build to an
immensely satisfying conclusion. Hooray, Max, hooray!
