School Library Journal - 06/01/2019 PreS-Gr 1–Max is a cat who attacks. His primary target is the fishbowl, but he will attack most anything. Max is drawn toward the fish, tantalizing and very smug in their glass bowl, but a glimpse of something green and scaly on the screen door suddenly compels him elsewhere. On and on it goes. A typical day for any house cat takes a competitive and adventurous turn from Max's perspective as he pounces, attacks, and keeps a silly running tally such as, "Socks, None. Max, Ninety-One." The narrative is written in swinging, rhyming, catty prose with accompanying bright and often zoomed-in illustrations. Some parts of the text are color coordinated ("Max" appears in blue throughout) but this isn't exactly consistent, although it does coordinate nicely with the illustrations. The large images and silly text make this an excellent choice for a pet-themed storytime. VERDICT Slightly distracted but completely enthusiastic, Max is sure to be a hit among young storytime listeners. A first purchase.—Laken Hottle, Providence Community Library, RI - Copyright 2019 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
