Praise for Max, a Little Axolotl "Charming and relatable. Early elementary readers will pick this book up for the ­axolotl and stay for the cute, informative, and engaging story." - School Library Journal "A wonderfully entertaining story about the cutest creature ever!" - Dan Santat, National Book Award Winner "In artwork maximized by bright colors and cartoonishly shining eyes, Spiotto takes readers on an adventure that encapsulates conservation and belonging all in one beautiful, silly story. This book is perfect for elementary-school marine lovers and anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong." - Booklist , STARRED REVIEW "Readers ready to graduate from Bondestam's picture book My Life at the Bottom: The Story of a Lonesome Axolotl (BCCB 5/22) will appreciate this chance to build both their reading skills and their axolotl knowledge." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
