FOR KIDS: Fans of the Max and Ruby book series and Nickelodeon show, rejoice! Everyone’s favorite bunny duo is back with their best adventure yet in Max and Ruby's Treasure Hunt (Viking, $17.99) . 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 and Ruby's Treasure Hunt is bound to be a new favorite! Rosemary Wells is the author of 120 books for children, including more than 40 about the beloved bunnies, Max and Ruby, who star in their own television show on Nick Jr. She travels all over the country as a tireless advocate for literacy. Wells was born in New Jersey to a playwright father and ballet dancer mother who encouraged her artistic bent. She worked as an art director and designer before illustrating her first book. She is the mother of two grown daughters, Victoria and Marguerite, and grandmother to five girls. 6pm
