This review is from: Big Max and the Mystery of the Missing Giraffe (I Can Read Book 2) (Hardcover)
In 1965, Kin Platt's "Big Max," illustrated by Robert Lopshire, was published. It was a simple text, happily illustrated, the type of book a child will enjoy having read again and again. Four decades later "Big Max and the Mystery of the Missing Giraffe," illustrated by Lynne Cravath sees poshumous print. Oh, the titles are similar enough. Switch the elephant for the giraffe. Happily, Big Max still travels by umbrella, keeps his clues guarded, and saves the day without accepting pay. Perhaps he is independently wealthy. Anyhow, Cravath's illustrations, while her own, nicely complement those of Lopshire. Both titles deserve a place in school, public, and personal libraries. Both are keepers.

I highly recommend this series of books for parents looking for enjoyable books for their children. My two boys love this series and read the books constantly. It is rare to find books that keep them wanting more. This series has done it! Thanks!
