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.

What a sweet story of orphans living with nuns and then one gets sick and has to go the hospital. Although the story was fascinating, the art was rather dull. The colors and paint strokes could have been better.

Wonderful illustrations, a nice story. Now I will always say pooh-pooh to scary things. :)

Twelve little girls in two straight lines. Oh, what a wonderful book.

Tried this out on my girls today because I've never been quite sure of this book's appeal. Both of them (5 & 4) loved it. They wanted to know why Madeline was crying, why she had to stay in the hospital, why all the other little girls started to cry. Perhaps I lacked empathy at a young age. I always felt sorry for Miss Clavel. I also admired the symmetry of two straight lines, and it bugs me when Madeline is absent. It unsettles the order of things. Maybe that is what children sense but can't say. This book helps them feel that sense of displacement is a real emotion. That might have something to do with its lasting appeal. Or perhaps it's clever merchandising.

I don't know why this is so very popular. But, Amaya liked it.

For my birthday, my friend gave me an anthology with all the Madeline books. These are childhood favorites of mine and it's so nice to revisit them, especially after going to Paris and seeing the beautiful sights that are illustrated here.
