Meet Max. Max Archer, Kid Detective. Max helps kids solve problems.
Emily has stomachaches. A lot of them! With Max's help, Emily investigates the big three causes of stomachaches: lactose intolerance, constipation, and stress. With a mix of facts and humor, Max puts Emily on the right track towards feeling better. Max Archer, Kid Detective is written by a pediatrician with years of experience helping kids with problems (just like Max!). A Q & A for parents is included with the story.
Book Review and Awards
"The book handles clinical information with a dose of humor, and includes related activities and a Q&A. Bennett doesn't shy away from talking about 'farts, poop and other icky stuff,' topics that some kids--and plenty of adults--just aren't comfortable talking about. It's not hard to imagine parents using the kid detective's tips to explain their own recurring stomachaches." --The Washington Post "With a casual question-and-answer format and colorful cartoon illustrations, the title follows Max's explanations to Emily--and the reader--about how digestion takes place and the three main causes of a stomachache: lactose intolerance, stress, and constipation...kids will enjoy learning about basic body functions, which are referenced in a diagram that traces the route of the digestive tract 'from start to rather gross finish.' A final section 'just for parents' adds more."--Booklist
