Rosemary Wells's adorable bunny siblings Max and Ruby are back—-this time with their friend Louise and her Deluxe Beauty Kit complete with wigs, makeup, and instant stick-on nails. Max, as it turns out, is the first customer-victim at the beauty shop. He gets nailed and wigged and moussed and made up until he actually looks a little like Tammy Faye. But what's this? The beauty shop hot line is ringing, and the First Lady needs a shampoo and set! The Queen wants a manicure! As Louise and Ruby distract themselves with just-pretend celebrities, Max decides to make his own fashion statement, with a little help from "Rock-around-the-Clock Hair Color." Next thing you know he is Lizard Green. And Sunflower Yellow. And Ocean Blue. In the end, not even Grandma is safe from Louise's beauty bag! Children who are fascinated by "beauty-enhancing" accoutrements will giggle at the sight of bunny makeovers in this slight but cute Max and Ruby book. (Ages 4 and older) --Karin Snelson
