"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.

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.

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. :)
