About This Book
Rosemary Wells brings her signature charm to this delightful chapter book about sibling play and imaginative fun. Ruby and her friend Louise set up a beauty shop, complete with wigs, makeup, and stick-on nails, with Max as their willing, if initially passive, client. The story takes a humorous turn when Max decides to take control of his own makeover, resulting in a unique look that captures Grandma's attention. It's a gentle, funny exploration of creativity, family dynamics, and the joy of unexpected outcomes, perfect for early readers and read-alouds.
Louise and Ruby use Louise's "Deluxe Beauty Kit" to give Max a make-over, but when Grandma calls to schedule her own make-over, she makes an appointment with Max.
