DESCRIPTION:
Rhyming couplets spiritedly describe how Maxi and Vanilla perform legion tasks at home, and then, exhausted, must schlep their masters through the streets of town: "Not daring to complain, nonetheless the pair felt bitter,/ Forced to fetch and cart around two fatties on a litter." But Pompius stretches his luck too far when he instructs the twins to do away with his new horse Polydox, just because Polydox (in a vintage display of horse sense) refuses to obey him. . But the most memorable visuals are his signature characters, as round as they are short?their scale and charm (at least that of the good guys) easily endear them to kids. Ages 4-8. From Publishers Weekly Young readers are again treated to an idiosyncratic view of history throug
Maximus and Vanilla, twin slaves, use all their wits to escape their cruel master, Slobbus Pompius.
The Roman Twins A Customer Vanilla and Maximus were twins in ancient Rome. They lived as slaves with their grumpy master. One day their master bought a horse. It was too wild for HIM to ride, but when the slaves got on the horse, he was gentle. So the grumpy master decided to kill the horse for meat. What can the slaves do to save the horse?I like this book because it's a really exciting stor. Three Stars aluap I'm a great fan of Gerrards books but this one sustains too many out of date stereotypes.
