About the Book

Fans of the Max and Ruby book series and Nickelodeon show, rejoice! Everyone’s favourite bunny duo is back with their best adventure yet in Max & Ruby’s Treasure Hunt.

Max and Ruby have planned a picnic with their friends Louise and Lily, but when it is rained out, Grandma has a great idea: an indoor treasure hunt. Grandma plants the clues, each one a Mother Goose or nursery rhyme that has to be completed to find the next clue, and the grand prize is a treasure chest containing gold-wrapped chocolate coins.

Young readers will find the Mother Goose characters and nursery rhymes are fun to recognize and complete. Max & Ruby’s Treasure Hunt is bound to be a new favourite!

Select titles by Rosemary Wells are now available at Books & Books.
