In this charming board book, Max, a young rabbit, is desperate to eat his chocolate chicken. His older sister, Ruby, however, has organized an elaborate egg hunt, which Max reluctantly joins. As Ruby finds all the eggs and Max finds only mundane items, his patience wears thin, culminating in a clever, if slightly mischievous, resolution. This story gently explores themes of sibling rivalry, fairness, and managing frustration, all within the familiar and beloved world of Max and Ruby. It's perfect for discussing big feelings with little ones.
All Max wants to do is eat the chocolate chicken that someone left in the birdbath one fine spring morning. But "wait, Max," his sister Ruby says, "First we go on an egg hunt." Max does his best to play along, but when Ruby finds all the eggs-and he finds only ants and acorns-he shows her what can happen when you put all your eggs in one basket!
