(4) K-3 Penguin Young Readers series. Illustrated by Andrew Grey. Sitting on the bus alongside older sister Ruby, an ever-smiling Max happily goes to school. Max's day in Miss Bunty's class is filled with the expected activities (painting, recess, naptime, dress-up), which could be comforting to new-to-schoolers but isn't narratively thrilling. Largely absent, too, is Max's big personality, which fans might miss. Grey's illustrations are a close, but more digital-looking, approximation of Wells's style.
