Publisher's summary

After being stung by a bumblebee, Maxx realizes he is allergic and needs to see a doctor right away! What will happen when Maxx meets Doctor Z? Will Maxx be okay?

In the spirit of the popular Fancy Nancy series, Marvelous Maxx and the Bumblebee is an 800-word book for four-to-eight year olds. Marvelous Maxx offers a fresh twist: Not only is it an adventure that builds vocabulary, but it teaches a little medicine and first-aid, as well as helps allay the fear of doctors' visits.

Maxx Merman, a seven-year-old with some medical smarts, can help out and provide some first-aid tips to young children! Come along with Maxx, Arielle, Ethan, Lucas, and Dr. Zhang, as they encounter many medical challenges, and overcome them.

John Higgins is a Harvard-trained cardiologist, who teaches medical students and students from pre-k to seniors. He has been on television and radio 700 times and won the annual dean's teaching award eight times. His teaching experience has given him experience in the way children think and the stories they love. Catherine Higgins graduated from Peking University and is a successful trading analyst. They wrote Marvelous Maxx to help young boys grow their vocabulary and gain practical first-aid skills.

For all those parents with boys who have been asking, Is there a boy's version like the Fancy Nancy books? The resounding answer is now yes! Marvelous Maxx has stepped up to fill this gap and help entertain and educate.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

AMAZING-MY DAUGHTER LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THIS!!!

Marvelous!!! Not only did my 6-year old daughter enjoy this story - she especially loves Dr Z. and now wants to be a Doctor when she grows up - but she learned a bunch of new words e.g. Exhausted – totally tired out, Gigantic- super-sized; and some great first aid facts: if you hear a bumblebee buzzing around, freeze like a statue. The next amazing thing was the next day, my daughter started using these words - "Mommy, your dress is gorgeou," & "That office building is gigantic." Amazing!!! We already downloaded the other one (Marvelous Maxx and the Stuck-Up Popcorn) and my daughter and I can't wait for the other Marvelous Maxx adventures to come out :)
