DescriptionAlex and his dog Max are true friends--the kind that share each others 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 others 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 Alexs 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.
