“You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.” – Dr.Seuss

This is my daughters favourite book.  Sara would ask me to read it to her again and again.  She could relate to Max – his wildness and vivid imagination.  But what she connected to the most was the idea that no matter what Max did, his mother would always love him.

We all have a favorite book that we want to hear over and over, but what is it that makes a particular story magical? 

Is it the characters?  Can they make us laugh or cry?  Do we care what happens to them?

Is it the lesson? Did we learn something? Does it teach us about an idea, such as kindness, acceptance or perseverance?

Is it the illustrations or pictures?  Are there interesting textures, colors, and designs? Are they funny?

Is it the language?  Does it use rhyme, rhythm, poetry or humour?

What is your favourite part of the story and why?
