Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans

4.0

"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.
