It's always one of our favorite times of the week when new boxes of books come...and Teresa and I enjoy looking through and finding good books to recommend. Our recent favorite from yesterday's box is a short picture book called Best Buds (from what we hope will be new series called The Adventures of Max and Pinky Best Buds is a really cute book about a little boy (who looks a lot like a younger version of Charlie Brown) and his best friend Pinky. While very brief and simple in storyline, it is one of those books that has a remarkable humor that the adults reading aloud will enjoy, too.

The story follows their daily activities which they do together, until a day when Max can't find Pinky...and is worried, until he thinks of the perfect place to look. I won't ruin the suspense, but let's just say marshmallows are involved.
