Watch your ankles and find out in this clever, rhyming picture book about a very naughty kitty cat.
Max is a cat. He attacks. From socks to strings to many a fish, attacking, for Max, is most de-lish. But how many of these things can he actually catch? Well, let’s just say it’s no even match.

HALL WAYS MINI-REVIEW: Adorable! Anyone who's ever owned a cat will be able to relate to Max's antics, and everyone who reads, cat owner or not, will get a chuckle. The illustrations are excellent; vibrant and expressive, they will keep readers of all ages engaged and amused. I recommend getting the print copy (I have mine 😍) to have and hold and share with your favorite little one -- or any cat lover.

The real Max was neither blue, nor did he have a switchy tail. In fact, he didn’t have a tail at all. He was an American Bobtail, almost fire red, and in his prime he weighed in at over twenty pounds. For seventeen years, he served as best friend and roommate to the author’s oldest son Jacob Appelt, who adopted Max from the local animal shelter. Together they wrote music, traveled, entertained friends and family, and kept an eye on the neighborhood parrots. Even though Max was famous for attacking anything that moved, he was, and always will be, the biggest, sweetest cat ever!
And many thanks to Jacob for the line: “a mighty nap attacked our Max.” Best line in the book!
