Max's Words

By Kate Banks

Max's brothers collect stamps and coins, but they won't share. In a moment of inspiration, Max decides to collect words. From magazines and newspapers he cuts them—big words, little words, as many as he can find. Soon Max has enough for a story, and it isn't long before his brothers are interested, too. What is his story about? You’ll have to read Max's Words to find out. Ages 4–8. 32 pp. $16 from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
