Breaking Out! (max, A Little Axolotl #2)

Breaking Out! (Max, A Little Axolotl #2) by Joey Spiotto is a charming children’s picture book set in an aquarium, full of gentle humour, friendship and a dash of mystery. If you’re after a sweet read-aloud with bright underwater energy, Max is ready to win you over again.

Max has settled into school life and loves learning alongside his friends and teachers. When a new axolotl arrives, he’s keen to make her feel welcome and show her all the best spots in the tank. But she’s shy, overwhelmed by her new surroundings, and still missing home. Then one morning she’s nowhere to be found, and Max sets off through the aquarium to track her down.

Perfect for preschool and early primary readers who enjoy animal stories, classroom adventures, and themes of kindness, empathy and belonging.

Pop it in the trolley and join Max on his next aquatic escapade.
