Synopsis

Come along for a ride on some of the strangest streets you’ve ever seen as Max drives his taxi through a not-so-normal day. Which way to go? No need to decide until you come to the FORK IN THE ROAD. A stalled car blocking traffic? “He’s lucky the BIG TOE TRUCK came so quickly,” says Max. BASEBALL DIAMONDS? SPRING SHOWERS? ROCK CONCERTS? Max and his bright yellow taxi make every trip an amusing adventure.

About this title

Review:

Max drives a taxi. One morning when he goes outside to get in his cab, something very strange is going on: spring showers are coming from the sky, but they look like whirly spring things! Max's day gets crazier by the page as he runs into more zany situations. Among the wonders of his wacky, pun-filled day are a "tooth ferry" to take Marina and her mom to the dentist and a jar of "traffic jam" blocking intersections in the middle of town. Puns pop out from the page in bright red type, so no new punster will miss the tricks, and the colorful, imaginative illustrations are just right for the text.

Fun, funny, and a great introduction to the multiple uses of words and phrases, Max's Wacky Taxi Day is a worthy sequel to writer-illustrator Max Grover's debut: Parent's Choice winner The Accidental Zucchini. (Ages 4 to 8)

About the Author:
