Right here.
(It kept crashing for me in Firefox but worked fine in Chrome. I’m using the QuickTime Alternative plugin though, so it just might be me.)
My brother was quick to send over a copy of this book soon after Max was born since (A) it was one of our favorites when we were little, (B) because it was one of the first books featured on Reading Rainbow, and (C) the protagonist is of the story is also named Max.

Out of all the fucking glorious mountains in the world, why is Mt. Fuji so universally beloved?
I can’t believe nobody’s ever written this before. So I reiterate: FUCK FUJIYAMA*

Also, just to cover all bases: FRAK YOU, MT. FUJI!!!
