Review by Chris Singer
About Maximus “Max”:
Born in Oakley, Michigan. Maximus grew up with the best family a dog could have. Maximus’s family includes him on many exciting adventures. When Maximus is not sleeping, he enjoys walks, car rides, and of course his favorite treat, “Peanut Butter Treats.” Also, he likes playing with his new brother Wrigley and his many animal and human friends. Maximus’s is now an award winning children’s book and has a book series called, “Read with Max.” Children and adults of all ages can relate with his stories, pictures and adventures told from his prospective.
About the author:
An award winning childrens book author, Anthony Majewski was born in Detroit, Michigan. Anthony grew up in a family of four that relocated round the country for nearly eleven years. At the age of eight, he started his moving adventures from Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan to Northbrook, Illinois to Plano, Texas then to Long Island (Glen Cove), New York and finally what he refers to as home, Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. Anthony graduated college earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Western Michigan University and earned a Masters Of Business Administration with a specialization in Marketing from Walsh College. After college, he and his wife Julie started their family with the addition of their first dog Maximus, an English Labrador Retriever. They also added to their family by rescuing Wrigley, a Basset Hound. Maximus inspired Anthony’s breakthrough award winning children’s book, “Dogs Move Too! From Max’s Point of View!” plus “Color with Max Activity and Coloring Book”. Anthony and his wife Julie intend to continue adding stories of Maximus and their other family pets in a children’s book series “Read with Max.” When Anthony is not working, he enjoys boating, playing racquetball, and of course spending time with his best friends, Maximus and Wrigley.
About the book:
Did you know that dogs work too? My name is Maximus, but you can call me ?Max.? I?m a six-year old yellow English Labrador Retriever and I just went on an adventure. I learned about working dogs, especially Leader Dogs for the Blind. As you read my story, I’ll share my adventure with you from my point of view. If humans can work, then dogs can work too!
Book DADS! This is Max and the Site is Pawrific. First thank you for participating on my book blog tour. I am so excited to visit my tail won’t stop wagging.
I see you were able to read my new book! I am so glad you enjoyed it. You mention scrapbooking style of book. What many people do not realize is that my books are a family effort. My dad types out the stories on the computer and takes all the cool photos, and my mom creates all the scrapebooking images/illustrations. She often doesn’t get the credit she deserves for spending so many hours cutting and pasting photos, backgrounds, and creating all the neat effects in my book. It makes my book one of a kind and why parents and children enjoy it so much.
As for my book “Dogs Work Too”, the reason I wrote it is because when I first started touring different childrens events with my first book, I often invited Future Leader Dog puppies to come out and play with me. Well, there were so many questions about Leader Dogs for the Blind, I thought it would be great to share and write how I was first was invited to Leader Dogs. I enjoy knowing that parents and children all learn something from my book. I also add lots of content and photo so that parents feel they also get something of value. My adventures are so exciting but its difficult to tell the whole story with only one sentence.
Since you deal with Dads and encourage reading I wanted to share a statistic with your readers.
Did you know:
It is estimated that more than $2 billion is spent each year on students who repeat a grade because they have reading problems.

So, keep reading to your kids. I give all dads who read to their kids, TWO PAWS UP! Also thank for mentioning my video being selected for the Telly Awards Competition. We need all the votes us dogs can get by April 22, 2011. Please Vote.
