REVIEWED BY CHARLIE, 9, VIC
Max by Marc Marten, Penguin Books Australia, ISBN 9780670077434
Charlie read a copy of this book in his school library.
Bob, a fish and chip shop owner, is best friends with Max the seagull.
One day, Max comes to the shop but Bob is not there.
He waits, but when Bob doesn’t come, he flies high into the sky. Eventually, a salty and familiar smell comes over the air and he flies towards it. Does he find Bob?
I recommend this book for 6 year olds because the story is simple and fun to read.
I like it because it’s based on the reality that friends sometimes move away, but still like to reconnect and do what they did before when they meet up. Like Bob, I wouldn’t want my friend going away from me to live somewhere else.
