SuitabookMax's breakfast
Rosemary Wells
- Reading
- Pause at Ruby's different attempts and invite your child to notice which one Max responds to. Let them decide whether Ruby's approach seems helpful or persuasive.
- Themes
- Sibling influence: Ruby tries several ways to encourage Max to eat, then shows him that she enjoys the egg herself. The story shows Ruby's example preceding Max's decision to finish the egg, without establishing a broader judgement about her methods.
- Worth knowing
- Food and eating are central: Max is reluctant to eat his egg, while Ruby encourages him. This may be worth noting if mealtime preferences are a sensitive topic.
