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!
