Children with this disorder are encouraged to: 1.) Eat regularly 2.) Wear a medical alert bracelet. 3.) Stay well hydrated. Throughout this book you will notice zebra stripes in each illustration. In medicine an unlikely diagnosis is termed a “zebra”. This comes from a saying used when teaching medical students about how to think logically in regards to possible diagnoses. “When you hear hoofbeat, think horses, not zebras”. The term was coined in the late 1940’s by Dr. Theodore Woodward, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In the world of rare, inherited metabolic disorders, such as MCADD, physicians are trained to look for the “zebras”, so the term changes to “When you hear hoofbeats, think zebras”. We hope you enjoy this story about Max, Minnie and Mo and their journey across the jungle! Review: Sweet book to explain MCADD to kids and adults! - When we found out our son has MCADD we didn’t know how to explain it to him or anyone for that matter! This has been great to send with him to preschool for his teachers at the beginning of the year to and I know it will be good to explain it to him when he gets older (he’s only 3 now). Review: Must have book for young kids with MCAD! - This book is a must-have for any MCAD family with young children! The story line is simple and understandable - eat often so you have enough energy - and the pictures of Max and his friends are very cute. Our 3 and 5 year olds really like this book and I like that it's about everyday life with MCAD and not all the crummy hospital/doctor stuff. Wish it had been available when they were 1 and 3!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,308,773 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #365 in Children's Diet & Nutrition Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 81 Reviews | ## Images ![Max the Monkey Has MCADD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5164T72jp5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet book to explain MCADD to kids and adults! *by M***. on June 13, 2025* When we found out our son has MCADD we didn’t know how to explain it to him or anyone for that matter!
