Max Goes to the Nature Center

"Zoe and her friend Max take a trip to the nature center and see many animals. This story is written simply for emerging readers. This is also one book of a series. http://ccoxbookblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/max-goes-to-nature-center.html"

"Max is excited about going to the nature center with his friend Zoe. At the center, they see different snakes in the glass cages. There are many birds and nests there, too. In the activity area, Max creates a green and yellow striped paper snake while Zoe constructs a nest like the one she saw in the bird cage. Time runs out, and they miss the butterfly exhibit. However, as they are leaving, Max and Zoe are pleasantly surprised to realize that nature is not just confined in the center. The watercolor-and-pencil illustrations provide some support for reading the text about Max and Zoe's time at the nature center. Those readers wishing to read more stories about Max and his adventures will find that there are additional Max books in the "Read-it! Readers" series. Brief descriptions of the series' features are located at the front of the book, along with a note about how adults can support the young reader."
