Where IS Max?

Last week I lent our 4 year old neighbor my dummy copy of "Max! Relax!" for her mom to read to her. She adores Max and was curious why she hadn't seen him for a while. Luckily, her mom handled the delicate task of explaining the "Great Circle of Life" to her. It's interesting and sweet that Max has taught that lesson to quite a few of the neighbor kids. She loved the book, but wants to buy the hard-cover version. I'd better get on that.
