Ooh-la-la: Max in Love

Reach for this book when your child is feeling like a bit of an outsider or expressing a longing for a deep, soul-level connection. It is the perfect choice for the young dreamer who loves big words, quirky art, and the idea that there is a 'someone' out there who truly understands their unique heart. Max, a millionaire poet dog, navigates the eccentric streets of Paris in search of a love that matches his sophisticated spirit. The story explores themes of creative loneliness, the beauty of individuality, and the joy of finding a kindred spirit. With its vibrant, fauvist-style illustrations and absurdist humor, it celebrates a life lived through art and emotion. It is ideally suited for children aged 5 to 10, particularly those who appreciate wit over traditional slapstick and who enjoy stories about finding where they belong in a vast, colorful world.
