Madeline

On of my favorite book series. Well written and entertaining

buy it for young readers

I bought this for my daughter and it brought back memories of my childhood. It’s a great book for little girls, cute illustrations and story.

We love this book! It’s very tall, but it still (barely) fits on the shelf.

Bought this for my three great granddaughters, age 3,2 and 1. The two older are really into books and love this.

This was a gift for a friend and he loved it!!

Madeline is one of twelve girls at a Parisian boarding school, who shows herself to be exceptional through daring actions such as crossing a bridge on the rail, while the other girls walk sedately in their line. The twelve girls ordered, convivial life is well portrayed in unique illustrations and skillful writing which emphasize dramatic action rather than description. The great drama of this story is Madelines appendicitis and subsequent visit to the hospital. The story ends in humor, with eleven little girls returning home from a visit there, and crying to have appendicitis so they can enjoy the candy and toys that Madeline received. The Madeline books have been loved by children for seventy years, for good reason. Their engaging illustrations, careful writing, and subtle humor combine to present a secure and romantic world that is very appealing.

Excited to give this to my granddaughter to go with her Madeline doll.

Madeline is a must for every childrens library. I read to a first grade class and girls and boys alike are drawn to the story of Madeline!

My daughter loves this classic book. The illustrations are really cute and the plot is relatable for little girls. It has become a favorite before bed. Highly recommended!
