  <description><![CDATA[Max, a millionaire dog poet, has come to Paris from New York to see the sights and find his heart's desire. As he basks in the glitter and glow of Paris, Max finds himself in the midst of cosmopolitan expatriates and eccentric Parisiennes. <em>Ooh-la-la (Max in Love)</em> quivers with  surreal and funny language, and idiosyncratic, luminous art.  <br/><br/>  &quot;With a palette as subtle as the light on Montmartre and a notably free, sophisticated style, Kalman incorporates witty references to artists and their work in her own delightfully lively paintings.&quot; (<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>)  <br/><br/>  &quot;Brilliant, bold, funny, and obscure, this is definitely one of Kalman's best efforts to date.&quot;	   (<em>School Library Journal</em>)]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Ah, Maira Kalman - we discovered the clever wit of Max early on in my child's adventures in bookland and didn't stop. The pictures are a treasure in themselves with happy color, eccentric details and hooty little visual puns or twists. My son even had the little Max dog doll with removable clothing ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16186642">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I can't even count how many times I've read this book. By far one of my favourite picture books. It's a charming, whimsical story. The rhyming and flow of the words made it such a delight to read aloud. Even though some of the puns went over my head as a child, the play on words made it fun to read ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51844839">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Max, a millionaire dog poet, has come to Paris from New York to see the sights and find his heart's desire. As he basks in the glitter and glow of Paris, Max finds himself in the midst of cosmopolitan expatriates and eccentric Parisiennes. <em>Ooh-la-la (Max in Love)</em> quivers with  surreal and funny language, and idiosyncratic, luminous art.  <br/><br/>  &quot;With a palette as subtle as the light on Montmartre and a notably free, sophisticated style, Kalman incorporates witty references to artists and their work in her own delightfully lively paintings.&quot; (<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>)  <br/><br/>  &quot;Brilliant, bold, funny, and obscure, this is definitely one of Kalman's best efforts to date.&quot;	   (<em>School Library Journal</em>)]]>
