Max and Jax in Second Grade

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Lee Schmidt. Alligator twins Max and Jax both have plans for the summer: Max to catch fish with Dad, Jax to hold a sleepover. Both are happy when school is finally out--and Max catches a big fish with Jax's secret bait. The two story lines don't quite come together in the end, but the simple chapters, well illustrated with polished watercolors, amusingly convey the age-appropriate concerns of the characters.
