Max et Ruby

Both my kids like this show, but I have noticed that Ruby is kind of a brat kicking max out of the sand box so they can have a beach party and taking the markers he was playing with first. But other than that observation my kids love the show. It's a cute show and I also wondered why the parents are never there as well. When I first saw it, the way Ruby was bossing Max around, I thought that Ruby was the mom. My mom was watching it with us and said she thinks it was the sister and I was like well where are the parents? Bossy older sister and no parents, but at least it keeps my kids entertained. We always turn this show on when it's on because I want to see what one word max will say the whole show lol. It's a super cute show.

I cannot express how much my kids & I love this show. My 6 year old has been watching this since she was 2 and I thought she might have outgrown it by now but it is still her favorite series. My 3 younger children are just as enamored with Max & Ruby. There are so many times during any given episode that the 4 of them start cracking up over something so silly that it just fills me up with emotion to see them so joyful over such a sweet, innocent show. I know these days won't last forever so I'm savoring it while I can. I am bothered by some of the other posts that have such negative views on this gem of a show. Adults seem to be bothered that Ruby says "No" to Max too often. My kids say "No" to each other and they are usually not as patient and polite as Ruby is to her little brother. It is perfectly normal sibling behavior...besides, what is wrong with saying "No" to your kids once in a while? I just love the old-fashioned feel the show has about it...from the theme song, to the background music, to the wind-up toys Max plays with. It is a slow-paced, simple show that parents should appreciate in comparison with its competition. I let my kids watch everything from Sesame Street to SpongeBob to Harry Potter but they enjoy Max & Ruby the most. I also recommend buying the DVDs that are available now. The colors & artwork are so vivid & crisp.

When I was a kid, I used to read some of her books. My favorites were "Timothy Goes To School" and "Max & Ruby". After years ago, they now have a series out of those two with Timothy on PBS Kids and Max & Ruby on Nick Jr. Those were my childhood memories as I read those books at my school and at home.

It's about two bunnies of a brother and a sister with a 3-year old named Max and a 7-year old named Ruby. They go out of some of their playful times together especially when Ruby takes Max on other things like play games and toys at their home, camping out outside with her friends and do lots of things brothers and sisters can do with each other.

Even now at my older age, I found this show very cute just like how the book was supposed to be and it teaches on how brothers and sister get along with each other by playing and have fun together. If you grew up and love the book, you should watch this series. It's really fun!

My daughter loves this show, she laughs so hard when Max is on the TV. Some of you feel like kids aren't learning properly from this cartoon, like music and dance, but should your kids really be learning anything from a cartoon? I would much rather watch Max and Ruby than Dora and her whiny, scared voice all of the time. We grew up watching Tom and Jerry and the Flintstones and I can honestly say I have never chased a mouse around and tried to make a musical instrument out of his tail. If your children learn to hop on a bus and go shopping downtown from watching Max and Ruby, well, it really wouldn't be the cartoons fault, now would it? Lack of proper parenting would have to be to blame. So let your kids watch a nice little show and then go read them a book and teach them right and wrong. Dear God, please do not let cartoons teach your children their moral foundation! And lighten up, it's a cartoon, not everything has to be a learning experience! Max and Ruby have a great sibling relationship.

i used to think the same thing about max & ruby always being alone, where are their parents? i decided to find out for myself and read rosemary wells biography. basically, she states you never see max and ruby's parents because she wants children to try and solve their problems on their own. i think it is a great idea because children are given examples on how to solve life's daily problems. max can be annoying and ruby is usually bossy, but i really like them and my 3 year old loves max and ruby. when you compare max & ruby to some of the other cartoons on t.v., i think they are great and i am not worried about any of the contents in their shows.
