Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans
5.0
Ah Madeline, how I remember you. I'm probably biased because I adored the TV show as a kid but I never got to read the books. There is a whole series of these books where Madeline goes on adventures but this one is very sweet on its own. It is a rhyming book which is always a plus and the illustrations are very nice too.
The first story of Madeline introduced us to the old house in Paris that is covered in vines and we get a nice introduction to the 12 little girls and their world. Madeline is shown as a strong and independent little girl and she is very brave compared to those around her. But poor Madeline is not immune to everything as the story shows.
If you want to take anything out of this story it is a bit hard besides showing a strong character, the rest of the series bring in new events and people to interact with that probably can show lessons and morals if you needed them, but for now this is just a great story about a dear little girl.
The Madeline books are a great and you do want to keep reading about all the other adventures they have and the introduction of even more characters. For kids this would be a great book, as would the remainder of the set, and as an adult it still brings a smile to my face as we watch Miss Clavel get flustered and panicked whenever Madeline tries to have any fun.
