I have three sons, age 7, 5 and 2 and they all were thrilled by this book and the others in the series.The art is fun and very kid-friendly. They laughed out loud with the storyline and illustrations.Best of all these books are not written down to children. My toddler loved it but it also makes a great first reader for my seven year-old, who is not insulted by it's content. It is not "a baby book."
Very nicely illustrated, with a engaging, rhyming text.

The text is in rhyme and tells the comical story of Maximilian the baker and his attempt to become a magician. Too impatient to read the magic book that accompanied his magic hat, Max's magic result sin mixed up and silly spells. During his first school visit Max learns that real magic is simply making others laugh. Written for young readers ages 6 to 9, Maximilian The Great is very nicely illustrated by Adam Corsi. A unique aspect is the provision of a special section of tips for the young reader on writing and illustrating, with information on how they can submit their own work in a contest for publication.
