If you have a question about whether or not you need to great all the Max and Ruby books, don't hesitate to snap them up. These are the ones for buying, go get those other books at the library. This one is counting themed but not in any lame way. Max still wins and Ruby kind of does too and Grandma is still happy with everything.That's what you need to know. Go buy now.

A reassuring tale of parental (or in this case grandparental) unconditional love and support. Rosemary Well's penchant for country charm is apparent in this offering in the Max and Ruby series. Here the irrepressible Max conspires to invite "his Jellyball Shooter Spider, his Ear-Splitter Space Cadet, and his Can't-Sit-Up-Slug" to the tea party Ruby is hosting in Grandma's honor. As always, the nearly silent Max completely steals the show from his bossy older sister Ruby. Here children live in their own world, and live by their own rules, unfettered by parental relationships. The book portrays a loving yet sometimes strained sibling relationship. Ordinal counting is heavily featured in the book as well. The title page is rather charmingly made out like a child's handmade tea party invitation. The story also touches on gender stereotyping and may serve as a fantastic discussion opener on such topics, with Ruby's fondness for girlish dolls made apparent, while her younger brother displays a very clear preference for more masculine toys. Candy bright colors in the multi-media presentation entice the eye of both young and old. The straightforward prose invites deadpan pauses and is sure to make for excellent read-aloud material ideal for ages three to six.

My 3-yr-old loves Max & Ruby and Rosemay Wells! He likes the artwork in the numbers and the concept of disguise. He loves the counting too, but don't expect to be able to count guests on each page. Fun book with great artwork!

My son is 3 yrs old and "Bunny Party" is his favorite Max & Ruby book. Also, I enjoy reading this story to him. All these books have an innocent, sweet and old-fashioned feel to them and Max is quite clever in this story.

Good book, great to read with grandchildren in my lap.

My 2 year old granddaughter loved it!!!!

Max and Ruby hold a birthday party for grandma. Max gets up to his usual mischief and manages to seat his own guests (his toys) at the table, dispite Ruby saying "no", by playing tricks to disguise them!Beautifully written, witty and intriging. Rosemary Wells writes another funny tale, not too short and not too long. My son who is two enjoyed this for being a Max and Ruby story. My other son, aged 4, thoroughly appreciated the cheekiness of Max and his disguising his toys so that Ruby did not realise they were present, and felt sure she had miscounted! Won't fail to impress any Max and Ruby fans!
