The inspiration for Mostly Maxx came from small-town life in rural Indiana. Rural life was exciting for the author, Curtis Davis when he was a small boy. Life was full of playing all day in a large cardboard box, comic books, and riding bikes. In Mostly Maxx, Davis relates his experiences of learning life's important lessons; how to be a good person, how to be kind and how much joy family can bring.Each book includes two stories. In this third edition of the Mostly Maxx series, Maxx visits his family doctor for the first time. Also, Maxx upsets his grandparent's farm when he takes his game of being a lumberjack a little too far.The adventures of Maxx are meant to be shared with caregivers and the children they love. Other books in the series are Mostly Maxx: Maxx Catches a Fish and Maxx Rides his Bike and Mostly Maxx: Maxx's First Family Vacation and Maxx Goes to School.
