This is THE book for all the Max fans out there- me being one of them and kicking myself for not buying it way back then. Sure hope I'll get another chance! So does my son, Max. Maira Kalman has changed the way I see children's books- She's the BEST!

This is THE book for all the Max fans out there- me being one of them and kicking myself for not buying it way back then. Sure hope I'll get another chance! So does my son, Max. Maira Kalman has changed the way I see children's books- She's the BEST!

This is, as far as I am concerned, the best children's book in existence. This book has: Max Makes a Million; Ooh-la-la (Max in Love); and Max in Hollywood, Baby. If you can't get Max Deluxe, just go ahead and buy the three books anyway. Kalman's writing is full of puns and wordplay and twists and turns that will have you laughing and explaining for days. This is one of those books (or collection of books) that you will find something new in everytime you read it. Do you get bored reading about little bears and duckies? Try Max.

Maira Kalman is a genius of freshness. a fresh breathness of couleur and "dreamy schemes"...she writes of love, amour, le coeur and life, through the use of a dog who finds a wife. She is for all children (those we can see and those trapped in adult's bodies)full of bewilderin' and those who drink toddies...this book NEEDS to be in print, for it creates human spirint for any animal being who should come near it. To max & suzette & maira thankyou merci beaucoup!!xoxoxox! (you've reminded me that life (and art) is supposed to be fun) now i am done. -S.
