"Another Rosemary Wells Winner!"
Rosemary Wells has written another winner with Ruby's Tea for Two. The story follows her usual pattern: older sister Ruby tries to dictate how an activity should take place, in this case a tea party. Best friend Louise (who owns the tea set) is invited. Little brother Max is not. "One chocolate and one strawberry, please," Ruby orders newly appointed waiter Max. As usual, one-track mind Max is determined to get his way. The devious expression in Max's eyes is reason enough to get this latest addition to this lively series. The Max and Ruby books are such a hit in our house that my 3.5-year-old daughter renamed her younger sister "Max"- and she answers to it! While we saw this particular story first on TV's Nick Jr., both my girls request the book version over and over. I also recommend the recently released Max Drives Away.

My daughter loves to tell Max that he shouldn't put spiders on the cakes! Bright pictures, simple storyline. Perfect for a 2-yr-old Max and Ruby fan.

Book was fun to read and was a nice addition to a tea set purchased at the same time.

Tea for two has board-book style pages that are easy for little fingers to maneuver. The story is sweet reminds you of the innocence of childhood

My daughter loves this book especially since having a tea party is one if her favorite things to do. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because the one I received does not match the book pictured. The cover on the book is red not white and it isn't as cute as the book pictured.

I was shocked to open this. This terrible book promotes NOT sharing, exclusionary play and then REVENGE, not to mention male/female stereotypes. The story goes: two girls having a tea party and won't let their little brother play with them. Then to get back at them, he puts a spider in their tea and their game and book are over. Shame! I would never let my little girl read such a horrible book. The author should be ashamed to teach kids this kind of behavior. This book has absolutely ZERO redeeming qualities. I would give it zero stars instead of 1 if I could figure out how.
