Max's old blue overalls are disgusting, and Ruby has exactly enough money to buy him a new pair of pants. But what Max really wants is a ferocious, green dragon shirt. When the two get separated in the clothing store, the antics begin. Children will cheer as Max unwittingly outwits his bossy, older sister once again. "Another gleeful romp with a pair of unforgettable hares."—Publishers WeeklyAwards:( An ALA Notable Book( A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
