> 3 dayReaders familiar with the original story will immediately notice the illustrations that have (understandably) been trimmed out and the blocks of text that have (less understandably) also been trimmed out. I get having to reduce the number of illustrations to make the book an appropriate length for a board book, and at first I was pleased to notice that they had moved the text from some of the omitted pages onto the adjacent, included pages. However, they did not do this universally, and some parts of the story are omitted altogether. Im not some sort of Madeleine uber-purist, so this isnt a huge deal to me, and is the expected trade off in having the story reformatted as a board book. Overall, I would recommend this for little ones who are just starting to get their hands on books (board books are so great for that), but if youre reading to a kid who is more actively listening then I would recommend getting the full story.

> 3 dayLudwig Bemelman has captured in the character of Madeline the spunk and innocent mischief that make little girls such fun...and so surprising! From Madelines precarious balancing on the bridge to the bold displaying of her scar, she culminates everything a young child is (or wishes to be) that so amuses and bemuses us parents! My daughters adore the Madeline books, the girls themselves and their dog. Theyve even taken to studying French with me! Bemelmans rhymes are charming, although they do not quite flow at times (adds to the charm?) and the illustrations are wonderful introductions to Parisian landmarks. I have enjoyed reading these books with my little Madelines, and enjoy it even more when they read them back to me. Five stars!
