Publisher Description
Here's the first book in the hilarious Moxy Maxwell series, which includes Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank-you Notes and Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Practicing the Piano. It wasn't as if Moxy hadn't tried to do her summer reading. She and Stuart Little had been inseparable all summer, like best friends. If Stuart Little wasn't in her backpack, it was in her lap . . . or holding up the coffee table . . . or getting splashed when Moxy went swimming. But now it's the end of August—the day before fourth grade. And if Moxy doesn't read all of Stuart Little immediately, there are going to be "consequences."
It may look like Moxy is doing nothing, but actually she is very busy with a zillion highly crucial things—like cleaning up her room (sort of) and training her dog and taking a much-needed rest in the hammock. Just look at the pictures her twin brother Mark takes to document it all—they're scattered throughout—and you'll see why it's so difficult to make time for a book about a mouse.
Of course our heroine does manage to finish her book, falling so in love with it that she finds herself reading under the covers with a flashlight, late into the night.

Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little Listener Reviews
-
" Even though her mother has issued an ultimatum re. writing her Christmas thank yous, Moxy's scheme is funny and incorrigible. Will she get them done and get to visit her father? Judy Moody and Clementine readers will enjoy this simple series. "
— Carol, 2/15/2014 -
" J The second in the Moxy Maxwell series where we continue to learn more about this Junie B Jones type of girl. This time, Moxy wastes way too much time trying to find an easier way to write 12 Christmas thank you notes before traveling to Hollywood to see her father. Like in the last book, things don't work out quite as she hopes. "
— B, 2/11/2014 -
" This is a cute easy read for a 4th or 5th grader. People say the first one was better, but I did not read it. "
— Libby, 1/31/2014 -
" Adorable! Moxy Maxwell will do just about anything to get out of doing things she doesn't like. And hilarity ensues! Moxy also deals with some very real childhood issues such as divorce, taking responsibility, and family life. But it is done in such a fun, real way so as to not seem preachy. "
— Heather, 1/24/2014 -
" Listened to this one, so I didn't get to see Mark's photos. I'll have to flip through a copy of the book to complete the Moxy Maxwell experience. "
— Katie, 1/14/2014 -
" Not quite as clever as the first one, but using the same format & techniques (short chapters, b&w photos as illustrations). This time Moxy has promised to write 12 thank you notes by the day after xmas so that she can go visit her father in Hollywood. She procrastinates and causes chaos and learns a lesson in the end. "
— Karin, 1/3/2014 -
" Moxy procrastinates writing her Christmas thank-you's even though her mom has threatened that Moxy can't visit her dad in Hollywood if she doesn't get them written. Ultra-short chapters with long chapter titles and black and white photos taken by Moxy's "brother" make this a quick, fun read. "
— Lisa, 12/16/2013 -
" This book is really funny. The chapter names tell you all about the chapter...the illustrations are hilarious. They are all photographs that are taken by Moxy's brother Mark. "
— Jacob, 11/16/2013 -
" 3.75 I can relate to having a hard time writing thank you letters (who hasn't procrastinated doing this!) Moxy is funny and I found the ridiculously long chapter titles amusing as well. Though there are 77 chapters, each chapter is only a page or two and the 160 page book reads quickly. "

" Glad I finally got my hands on it. It did not disappointment me. It was funny and quick-witted and almost sad. "

" Much sadder than the first book... "
— Beth/Sr., 6/30/2013 -
" This girl in this book reminds me of me because I hate doing thanks you notes and my mom would not let me do anything unless those thank you cards wear dun:(. My favorite part was when she asked her mom if she could go shopping and her mom said no because she needed to finish her thank you notes. "
— Kendall, 4/25/2013 -
" Fun language. Kids would be able to relate to this books on many levels. "
— Suzanne, 1/15/2013 -
" Could you make a day drag out any longer!!! Just write the thank you notes. My goodness, the only good thing in the book were the photo captions. "
— Jenifer, 12/30/2012 -
" The book was fairly fun, but makes you want to wring Moxy's neck. "
— Bob, 8/21/2012 -
" The first book in this series was just okay, but this one is just delightful. Moxy is like Ramona for the 21st century. "
— Katie, 7/27/2012 -
" These are pretty cute books. I liked the second book better than the first...I felt like the first was just all about Moxy procrastinating but the 2nd had more story and depth to it. "
— April, 7/23/2012 -
" So sad but, as the 1st book set out, always brings the humor from a 10 year old drama queen. Sweet! "
— Monique, 2/15/2012 -
" Moxy is a lot of fun to read about, but I'm sure glad I'm not her babysitter! "
— Aimee, 11/13/2011 -
