Max: The Story of a Dog Who Thought He Was a Cow by Ron Stoltz is an adorable children’s book. The story is about Max, a dog who was raised with cows. Naturally Max thought he was a cow too, until one day Max is forced to act like a dog. Max then realizes that he likes being a dog.
I chose to read Max: The Story of a Dog Who Thought He Was a Cow with my 4-year-old daughter. She really liked the story. The only part she did not like was when the coyotes appeared because they were “scary.” However, she did like Lisa the Queen of the Coyotes because she was wearing a pink bow.
The wording of the story was a little complicated in certain places for her to read by herself. I had to explain to her that “heifer” was another word for a cow. So I recommend this book for 1st grade and up. I thought the story was cute and different. I liked that Stoltz wrote about cows and even used cow terminology in the story. The illustrations are simple and not overly colorful. It is pretty easy for kids to tell what is happening in each picture.
Overall, my daughter and I enjoyed this book. I like to see books that feature different kinds of animals. This is the third book that I have read of Stoltz’s. Once again I am not disappointed. This would be a good book for any child’s library.
