Publisher Description
Meet Max - the mighty kitten and New York Times bestseller.
When Max meets Bird, Max thinks he'd like to be friends with Bird. He would also like to chase Bird and maybe eat him as a tasty snack.
But that's not what friendship is all about . . . Is it?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Max, the black kitten introduced in Max the Brave, makes a new friend in Bird, but can birds and kittens be friends? "It's a rule of nature. Birds get chased by kittens," Max tells Bird, who has no interest in being chased or becoming a snack. "But friends don't eat each other up!" protests Bird. Instead, they resolve to learn how to fly, resulting in a trip to the library and lots of ineffectual flapping on the part of both animals (Bird eventually gets the hang of it). Vere's pared-down cartooning keeps the focus on this developing friendship (the two friends, both inky black with huge white eyes, appear against brightly colored, mostly empty backgrounds), and his droll narration ("They flapped in the morning. Not a bean. They flapped in the afternoon. Not a sausage") provides lots of laughs along the way. Ages 3 6.
