Max and Tallulah: A little love story by Beverley Goodling


Take a look at the publisher trailer from PaRRagon Books (yes that's really how it is written with the capital letters in the middle of the word):


"Max loved Tallulah with all with his heart. But he was too shy to tell her."

Max tries to make Tallulah notice him. He gathers a basket of her favourite fruit but it falls into the river; he learns to dance but Tallulah does not look up from her grazing; finally Max decides to make a eye catching hat. He collects leaves, flowers and insects. Max is sure this huge magnificent hat will impress Tallulah. Oh no - it actually frightens her and she runs away. Max has one more idea. Perhaps he should be "just Max". 

"Max smiled at Tallulah and Tallulah smiled back!"

A love story in a picture book - bliss! Max and Tallulah was published in 2014 so sadly it is out of print but you may find a copy in a well stocked library.  When you do find this book take a look at the end papers - they are filled with red hearts. You could share this book any time but it would also be the perfect book for Valentines Day.  Here is Max in his hat.


Here are three other books I need to investigate - picture book love stories:
