I got this DVD and at least expected something knew but was surprised that it was just episodes we already had...I couldn't find a description of the episodes on Amazon so here you go (so you don't make the same mistake I did)
Max's Thanksgiving
Ruby's Figure 8
Max Misses the Bus
Ruby's Piano Practice

If you don't have any of the other DVD's this would be a good start for you. Max and Ruby is always gentle and free of violence and my 2.5 year old daughter loves it.

My kids both love Max & Ruby, so when I saw a new DVD had been released I bought it. Here is a specific list of the episodes contained on this DVD;

- Max's Thanksgiving/Max's pretend friend/Fireman Max
- Ruby's Figure Eight / Ruby's Surprise Party / Ruby's Tent (I'm so glad this one was on, it's a great episode)
- Max Misses the Bus / Max's Worm Cake / Max's Rainy Day
- Ruby's Piano Practice / Max's Bath / Max's Bed Time

Enjoy!

I thought this would be new episodes but we already own all of these on other DVDs. I am disappointed.

My daughter received this video as a gift. At first, I thought it was cute and she really enjoyed it. Then I noticed that my daughter was mimicking some of Max's less desirable behavior, such as only speaking in one word when she was more than capable of whole sentences. I sat down and really watched the video with her and realized it teaches little except bad behavior. In each episode, Max is basically told not to do something but does it anyway. He suffers no consequences, and in the end, some random event makes everything Max did work out for the best. I've put this video up on a high shelf and hope never to get it down again unless I'm throwing it away.
