Max wants to feel necessary; all his friends have things to do
but no one seems to need his help with anything. Then his aunts
show up for a visit-and they need his help with everything. Between
making their snacks, running their baths, fixing their appliances,
and preparing their beds, Max is exhausted. Will they ever leave so
Max can get back to relaxing?

Jackie Urbanovic was thrilled to illustrate If You''re Hoppy,
because her life experiences with dogs, cats, cockatoos, parakeets,
frogs, chameleons, bees, and hamsters give her so much to draw
upon. When it comes to flying, running, and the hoppiness of life,
she knows what she''s doing.
Jackie Urbanovic is also the creator of the New York Times
best-selling series of books about Max the duck: Duck at the Door
an IndieBound Top Ten pick, Duck Soup an Oprah Kids'' Reading
List selection, Duck and Cover, and Sitting Duck.
The artist grew up in southern Michigan, and now lives in Silver
Spring, Maryland, with her two dogs, Max and Cuba, and her cat,
Jesse Bear, who hops on her head every night.
