Alex and his dog Max are true friends-the kind that share each
other's excitement, comfort each other when they are sad, wait
together when parents are away, and have fun wherever they are.
Alex is learning that every good relationship is a two-way street.
By observing and listening to his dog, by sharing good times and
bad, he and Max are earning each other's love and devotion. Parents
will appreciate the information about animal communication and the
dog-child bond that they will find at the end of Max Talks to Me.
Children will want to share Max and Alex's adventures and
friendship over and over as they read the gentle, engaging story
and look at the beautiful illustrations.
Author Claire Buchwald lives with her husband, three children,
dog, and cat in Bloomington, Minnesota. The author of The Great
Mitzvah-Go-Round (ArtScroll, 2002), co-written with her husband
Larry Bogoslaw, and The Puppet Book (Plays Inc., 1990), Buchwald is
currently completing a nonfiction book on the power of imagination,
reading, and pretend play in children's lives. Buchwald, who has a
PhD in communication from the University of California, San Diego,
believes that children deserve the finest of writing because they
are complicated, intelligent, full of questions, and strongly
connected to the powerful capacities of imagination and awe.
