Can
you imagine what kinds of adventures a little girl and a dog
might have together? Max is a dog who arrives one March to live
with Debra and Dennis at the Cavanaugh house in Willoughby,
Ohio. Morgan is a young girl who comes the following June for a
visit with the Cavanaughs and Max. Author Debra A. Cavanaugh,
who is a registered dental hygienist, uses the alphabet to tell
this true story about Morgan and Max’s activities and
experiences. For example, "E is for eat. Max and Morgan like to
eat meatballs." And, "M is for mud pies. Max helps Morgan make
mud pies." Oh, what fun a child and a dog can experience with
each other! Not only will children enjoy reading
Max and Morgan's ABC's, but it is a fun way to help them
learn the alphabet. The soft colored drawings by Robin W.
Meldrum capture precisely how things might look to a youngster.
This is a really neat book that parents and teachers will
appreciate.
