Ruby's Tea for Two (Max and Ruby)

I always liked reading the Max and Ruby series when I was a nanny, so I look for the books now when I need a toddler gift. I gave this one to our 1-year-old niece, along with  Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Say Please Tea Set . She was entertained just flipping through the book, looking at the pictures, and I know she'll enjoy the story for years to come. She can use the tea set to have her own bunny tea party as she gets older, and the book will help her learn to share--and not to serve her guests insects!Another reviewer expressed concern that the book teaches exclusion and revenge. However, I believe Max's experience can teach empathy, as it shows the consequences of exclusion. And of course, the best lessons come through dialogue between parent and child... This humorous story offers a fun opportunity to talk about sharing.

Such a cute little book! Got it for my daughters Tea for Two party, even her brother loved reading it!

This is a lovely Max and Ruby Tea Party board book. It is now a favorite with my granddaughter. It arrived in perfect condition and in just a couple of days. Very pleased.

My almost 3-year-old granddaughter is intrigued by Max and Ruby. That's ALL she wanted for her upcoming birthday! This is a delightful little book, and giving her a little tea set with the book. Also bought the Max and Ruby 14" plush dolls from Amazon.com. A GREAT gift for my little one!! I want to be the HIT of the birthday presents!

My daughter loves this book especially since having a tea party is one if her favorite things to do. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because the one I received does not match the book pictured. The cover on the book is red not white and it isn't as cute as the book pictured.

This was a perfect book for my little Ruby. It is so fun to read about someone with the same name.

My daughter's favorite character is Max and Ruby. I borrowed a book just like this one from the library and she never wanted to return it. So I bought this book for her and it's definitely a keeper. She is so proud because she can easily read it herself and she has memorized the book already. Absolutely love it.

Item had a lot of damage, and probably shoudn't have been resold. Pages were scribbled with pen and book was very worn.

I got it for my toddler aged daughter who's name is Ruby and she loves it! It's short enough to keep her attention

Despite the fact that the book was packed with a leaking shampoo bottle (Amazon, really?!) and arrived stained, I will not give this lovely little book less than five stars. It is a sweet little story that makes me laugh as so many of Rosemary Wells' books have over the years. My sweet toddler boy adores this book and insists on having it read a dozen times a day. Ruby won't let Max partake of the tea at the tea party, she says he has to be a waiter. This does not sit well with Max. What he does to invite himself is quite a feat and very funny. Perfect for the toddler. (To Amazon's credit...they replaced the stained book with a new one!). A wonderful book. Don't miss it.

Bought for my granddaughter..loves it.

My daughter nagged for this... totally overpriced for what it is!

Ruby is a bit bossy. Important to talk to children about this.
