This is a delightful, creative book full of energy, imagery, and language. I think it is more for adults than children and would make an excellent gift for any artist or writer who must work at his day job while dreaming of "Paree"! Kalman's visual images are imaginative and fun.

Max Makes a Million is far and away my favorite book to read to my kids. The rhythm of its poetry is remarkable. Its drawings are fresh. Its story delightfully different. I have read many other Kalman books, and this is hands down the very best.

Maira Kalman has a wonderful wit and a tremendous artistic style. It is great when you find a book that appeals to the kids as well as the adults. Her seemingly simple paintings are at second glance alive with color and depth. Check out all her stuff.

The pictures are great, fun and colorful and it keeps the readers interested. Mine want to know what Max will do next!

If you like e.e. cummings, this book, along with the three other Max Stravinsky books i know, is for you. And your kids might even like watching while you read it to yourself. If you don't like e.e. cummings, you should.

finally found this out of print book. not cheap, but since i have loved it for so long and wanted my new grandson to one day have the pleasure of reading it, i thought i better snatch it while i could. took some time to arrive, but was in like new condition. Maira Kalman is a wonderful artist and it was thru her books for children that i came to realize that she is an artist for young and adults as well.
