"Kalman's tale is meant for tykes, but full-grown readers will love
her lush drawings and whimsical wordplay, too." —Zoe Donaldson, O,
The Oprah Magazine
“In his best venture so far, Max the dog searches for the Meaning
of Life and finds several possibilities...[Kalman’s] writing
is as funny and furiously paced as ever and her seemingly
slapdash illustrations still sophisticated and childlike at
once. She observes people, religions, and customs in witty but
respectful ways, and as in Chicken Soup, Boots (1993), beneath
all the silliness lurk important ideas, thoughtfully
expressed.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“[Kalman’s] witty, free-association writing style is enhanced to
maximum effect by the varied, cleverly employed typography. A
perfect union of place and palette, of dharma, (dog)ma and
unsurpassed cosmological kookiness.” —Publishers Weekly, starred
review
