Max and the Magic Word

Colin Hawkins and Jacqui Hawkins
(Puffin Books)
978-0140505689, RRP £3.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Max and the Magic Word (Picture Puffin)" on Amazon

The Hawkins combination of zany illustration with the ability to pinpoint absurdity is a potent mix. Mas, a rather unpleasant dog, demands turns, toys and treats from his friends, and I defy and class not to enter gleefully into the final chant of 'Please!'
