attention in children

Max is not exactly a perfect kid. From sunup through his school day and right until bedtime, he's goofy, disorganized, and generally uncontainable--much to the frustration of those around him. But when a little enthusiasm and creativity are in order, you can count on Max to save the day! Do you have a list of things to do every morning before school, but you get... distracted? Or maybe you're the only one with tennis balls on the feet of your chair and your teacher has to remind you to keep your sounds to yourself? Or maybe you like to listen to the way water sloshes in your stomach when you run down the hall, slo-mo, after the water fountain? That always happens sometimes to Max in this warm, hilarious picture book that humorously chronicles the pitfalls and celebrates the successes of a very familiar kid...one who may not be the most compliant or organized but who is full of energy, creativity, and kindness.
