    “El verdadero deleite de este libro para principiantes es ver cómo un auténtico perro se defiende diciendo la verdad.” —Publishers Weekly (reseña estelar)

    “The real joy of this stand-out beginning reader comes from watching a genuine underdog speak his truth.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    Mira a Max. Max no es un gato—Max es un perro. Pero muy a su pesar, el libro sigue indicando a los lectores que deben “mirar a la gata.” ¿Cómo puede Max hacerle entender al libro que él es un PERRO? En este trio de historias por David LaRochelle para lectores principiantes, el autor nos presenta al inquieto Max, quien le deja saber al libro, mediante un diálogo irresistible y contundente, que no le gusta el texto para nada. El ilustrador Mike Wohnoutka refleja con simpáticos dibujos las reacciones del cachorro ante el narrador y el elenco de personajes chiflados que alteran las expectativas de Max—y las de los lectores— a medida que todo se desenvuelve y culmina en una conclusión muy satisfactoria. ¡Hurra, Max, hurra!

    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!
