Perfectionner!

J'ai aimé ce livre ! Ma mère a acheté ce livre pour moi quand j'étais jeune, comme son nom est mon premier nom et le nom de jeune fille de ma mère. Même par-dessus dix années plus tard, j'ai toujours et aime ce livre ! Les dessins, la poésie, l'histoire. ...all de ceci fait ce livre un parfait pour n'importe quel enfant ou n'importe quel adulte. Si vous ne l'obtenez pas pour l'histoire, l'obtenir pour ses dessins

Ooh La La We Love It!!!

This book will be a favorite for years to come. It is interesting for kids and adults alike. (Grown ups: you know how awful some books are to read. This one is fun!)

This is funny and fun. AND Max falls in love! What could be better? This is a great place to begin your Max adventures. I also recommend Max Makes a Million and What Pete Ate from A to Z (Pete is not a "Max" book, but it is excellent nonetheless).

Happy Reading!

So you think you're an artist...

Max, starry-eyed romantic poet, goes to Paris where everything is absurd and wonderful, like watching Salvador Dali's clocks tick forward, backward, and melt into eternity on funky mushrooms. Swanky, smart, and just plain bizarre, this book is suitable for everyone with a twist. It made me laugh. It made me cry. My honey goes wild every time I read it aloud in my wretched French accent.

the best book ever

I'll give this book five stars because I just loved the way Mira Kalman used so many details. In this book Mira Kalman uses her creative and funny illustration to express her writing.
I really really liked,no loved this book.You might think of gross ,mushy ,gushy stuff!But Mira Kalman expresses the feeling of love in a calm ,yet sensible way as Max falls in love with the dog of his dreams!

Max is in Paris, the city of light and romance, to see the sights and maybe, just maybe find his heart's delight. "...Who is Max??? Mon dieu! Sacre Bleu! He is the coolest cat, I mean the hottest dog. He is Max Stravinsky. The dog poet from New York. That Bohemian beagle..." He stays at the little hotel run by the "aromatic" Madame Camembert, and tours the city, visiting the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower, the parks, boulevards and cafes. He eats, he drinks, and takes French lessons from Charlotte Russe. And he walks and walks, meeting a quirky cast of original characters, always looking for love..."It was April after all." He's invited out to the Crazy Wolf Nightclub by owner Pierre Potpourri, to hear the incomparable pianist, Crepes Suzette, and it is there he finds his "raison d'etre", the dog he's been looking for his entire life..... Maira Kalman has authored an ingeniously inventive and entertaining picture book classic, starring the ever-endearing Max, that truly stands alone in a class by itself. Her witty and creative text, part French, part English, begs to be read aloud, and is full of clever rhymes, wordplay and puns, and complemented by her intricately detailed and expressive artwork. Children and adults alike will enjoy poring over the pages, always finding something new and intriguing everytime they open the book. Ooh-La-La (Max In Love) is a masterpiece that will be enjoyed by "children" of all ages, from 5 to 95, and a book to be treasured and shared with friends and family now, and in the many years to come. This is Maira Kalman at her very best. Make sure you get your copy now!
