Madeline and the Bad Hat by Ludwig Bemelmans

4.0

I might be a little bit biased but I loved the Madeline books when I was a child and I think they're just as wonderful today. This particular Madeline book is a bit darker than I remember, what with the guillotines and the animal abuse, so I don't know if I would read it to particularly small children. But the art is beautiful and it does give an insight into French culture at the time Bemelman was writing.
