Max's brothers have grand collections that everyone makes a big fuss over. Benjamin collects stamps and Karl collects coins, and neither one will share with their little brother. So Max decides to start a collection of his own. He's going to collect words. He starts with small words that he cuts out of newspapers and magazines, but soon his collection has spilled out into the hall. All the while, his brothers are watching. Benjamin brags that he has one thousand stamps. Karl is just a few coins short of five hundred. But a thousand stamps is really just a bunch of stamps, and a lot of coins is only a heap of money. A pile of words, however, can make a story.
Bright, bold pictures incorporating clever wordplay accompany this highly original tale about a younger brother's ingenuity.
Max's Words is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Banks illustrations are fabulous! I loved this book, my kids and I have already read it twice and each time we have found something that we missed when we read it the first time. The illustrations jump out at you and defiantly caught our eye. I love when the words become the pictures it really helped my children associate words with the picture if they were not familiar with them.
Max stood out with his red, spiky hair right at the beginning of this book. On the first page he was on the side of the table all by himself. He continued throughout the book, being on every page! We also enjoyed the detailed illustrations words, piles of words and finally the knee deep words. One thing I noticed was that the magazine he was cutting his words out of was a Book Review Magazine! ïŠ
The text was eye catching also. Some of the text was cut out of magazines with different styles of print. Some of the text was incorporated into the actual word. (Crocodile, Alligator)
Ages 4-10
Writing ~ This is a great book to teach children the power of words and storytelling. We could learn new words and make up our own story but cutting words out of magazines.
L.A. ~ practice word wall words
We can also talk about collecting items.
