Thanks again Anne for organizing Book Week. I have enjoyed sharing some of my favorites and adding to my list of must reads from your site and the other players!
My last book I’m sharing is Ooh-la-la, Max in Love by Maira Kalman. Really it’s a Maira Kalman love-fest and I recommend any and all of her work. She is the author & illustrator of many children’s books. My favorite is actually Max Makes a Million, but I couldn’t find it. Oh-la-la is the sequel.
She is also an designer and an all around kick ass artist. Check out her webpage and watch The Elements of Style short movie.
I wish I were as cool as Maira Kalman!
we are huge fans of Maira around here. Chicken Soup Boots and See the Pyramids, Willie are among our favorites!
Oh, but you are!
My favorite too!
We have similar tastes in books! Thanks for playing along. I am behind on visiting blogs this week, so I hope to catch up.
I have been following Maira Kalman’s career for almost 20 years! I’m 27 now, I got Max Makes a Million when I was 7 years old and instantly fell in love. My two year old adores the entire series. I highly recommend getting the Max Deluxe, a book that incorporates three of the four Max stories. You won’t regret it!
