Max and his sister Ruby go on an egg hunt and vie with each other for the prize--a chocolate chicken.

Introduces the numbers one through ten as Max finally trades all his toys for his sister's doll.

Ruby tries to stop her younger brother Max from sneaking into her room and snooping by reading him an altered version of "Pandora's Box."

Max makes an earthworm cake for Grandma's birthday and helps Ruby with her angel surprise cake. At the store, the grocer can't read all of the shopping list, until Max solves the problem by drawing a picture.

Brief rhyming text and colorful illustrations tell what happens when parents and children share twenty minutes a day reading.

On Easter morning, when Ruby finds all ten of the marshmallow chicks hidden by the Easter Bunny, Grandma must quickly think of a way to make things fair for Max.

On a shopping trip to the department store, Max's determination to get a dragon shirt leads him away from his distracted sister and into trouble.

When Ruby lets go of his carriage, Max races down a hill, over a bump, up in the air, down between two trees, and back into the carriage which finally stops in a pile of leaves.

At bedtime, Grandma tells Max and Ruby three favorite stories about themselves.
