Plaid Dad Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 There's a show? Oh, man. The books drove me nuts after the first couple of readings. Dd was obsessed with them when she was three or so. :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I always wondered where the parents were, too. I had no idea there were books. I'm glad I didn't have to buy any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd was obsessed with them when she was three or so. :banghead: My kids have all gone through a Max and Ruby stage. Ds5 still requests the Midas book once in a while. The other morning, he looked at his freshly served breakfast and said, "Bag egg!" "WHAT did you say?!" It was before caffeine, and that 'some parents never learn' thread was fresh in my mind. He shrunk. "I was pretending to be Max." "Oh. Literary reference. Carry on." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay in Cal Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I must admit... I like watching Max and Ruby. We haven't ever read the books (and it's been a while since I've seen the show), but it's like this surreal world where Ruby vows never to show emotion, and Max must try to to destroy her with his magic word power. I guess I see it kind of like the Village in Prisoner--it has all it's own rules, and the goals are unclear. Maybe we should watch it back to back... Prisoner and Max and Ruby.

OnTheBrink Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Oh, I hated that show. What is up with that stupid "red rubbah elephant"? Why is it a "rubbah" elephant? And no one makes toys out of "rubbah" anymore; why not call it a plastic elephant? And, no one even says "rubbah" unless they're 70 years old and are referring to either erasers or rain shoes. In today's world, "rubbah" refers to one thing, and it's sure isn't something Max or Ruby need to know about or play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yeah, well, I like Max and Ruby books! So there! Actually I'm just a big fan of Rosemary Wells--Read to your Bunny, the nursery rhyme illustrations, all of it. Yay Rosemary Wells! The show is OK--my kids like it--but not as good as the books. Max's dialogue is devastating in print. And I just like the way she writes. "This time Max wrote "Red Hot Marshmallow Squirters" in the most beautiful writing he knew."

swellmomma Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I haven't read all the replies but have a funny story about this. A friend of mine has some very imaginative children. One day the older kids were mad the youngest one was hogging the tv to watch Max and Ruby so decided to share where they felt the parents were. Apparently it involved an ax murderer, and max seeing everything making him the quiet annoying boy he is. Now everytime my 4 year old turns it on, all I can think of is ax murderers, good grief.
