Max and the Dumb Flower Picture

40 pp. | Charlesbridge | July, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58089-156-1 $9.95
(4) K-3 With James Rumford. Max refuses to color the flower drawing that his teacher distributes to the class in honor of Mother's Day: he knows that his mom would prefer his hand-drawn illustration. The sweet story is rather purposeful--and overblown (a police officer is summoned after Max runs off)--but the spare illustrations are tenderly expressive.
