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.

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.
