It's a good book that's just the right length to use for story time. It keeps them entertained and can open up a great discussion. Whether they ask you what an appendix is or ask why the rest of the girls started crying, they are bound to start talking about the book.

"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lives twelve little girls in two straight lines . . . and the smallest one was Madeline." Madeline might be the smallest, but she is also the bravest. She faces scary rodents, wild animals, and even surgery!

Though she frequently frightens Miss Clavel, her caretaker, Madeline is an inspiration to children of all ages as she goes about her adventures with courage and valor. Bemelmans' classic tale teaches its readers that just because your tiny doesn't mean you can't be brave.

My plan is be able to read entire books in French. I did it in college but that was a so many years ago. So... here’s my start. My first book read in French since college. One down... many more to go.

Read this to Kaleb and well she really listened and let me finish the book. So I guess she really liked it. :)

We're doing our twice-yearly outreach blitz with the theme "Travel to New Lands", so Madeline is a fine way to travel to Paris!

This was the book that made me want to go to France. I loved the stories of Madeline and can remember watching the cartoons early Saturday mornings.

I love Madeline. It was my favourite show as a kid and having the books is truly amazing.
