I love, love, love this book! The story’s message of accepting responsibility for one’s actions is “ timeless” (haha!). The illustrations? Wow! A beautiful component of the story. In the classroom (at any grade), this book can be used for lessons in thematic analysis and/or visual literacy. I look forward to adding this to my collection.

Thank you to Owlkids Books and NetGalley for giving us this opportunity to read this eArc.

I read this with my son and he found it enjoyable because of the time travel. His favorite part was when Max went back to Egypt. I loved the illustrations, it is a gorgeous book. I also love Max's initiative and creativity in building a time machine. She's very clever in fixing the problem presented in the story. This was an enjoyable read!

Can you unmake a mistake is the impetus behind this over the top adventure of one child faced with a regrettable moment. A colorful and vividly illustrated book that brings the reader the the inevitable conclusion. Books like this prepare children for experiences they are likely to face and provide pedagogical tools to make the best decisions on their own.

Super cute story about the perils of time travel. As Max and Boomer travel through time trying to save a vase from being destroyed in the present by destroying it in the past, Max ends up knocking the sphinx's nose off, meets aliens, and learns that sometimes, things are just best left alone. Great science fiction picture book!

Stephen W. Martin’s The Trouble With Time Travel tells what happens when Max builds a time machine to avoid the consequences of breaking a family heirloom. Cornelia Li’s illustrations provide funny anecdotes to the precocious adventures of a girl and her dog.

The Trouble with Time Travel teaches inferences to young readers. And a houseboat! Not many funny and colorful stories show a houseboat as a type of home.
