Madeline

The very same book that I had as a kid. Great purchase for my babys library.

Perfect little board book! Some people are offended that its abridged, but I still think its great and description states its abridged. Its a very nice quality book when it arrives.

My daughter is 2 and loves this book

As expected

This book is a Caldecott Honor Book. Madeline books sometimes (in my opinion) not so good but others are wonderful! You never know when you go to open the cover! This one I really loved and my almost 3 year old granddaughter loved sitting in my lap looking at the pictures and listening to the rhyming lines. Madeline is a little girl in France that lives with 11 other little girls with a nun that cares for them all in a boarding school. Madeline is the littlest one of the girls and the most adventurous. Sometimes (like in this book) her manners are well and shes adorable...in other books (my opinion here) shes over the top on bad manners and just gets into everything etc. In this book Madeline gets very sick and is rushed out in a hurry awakin in a hospital after an appendix operation. When the girls come visit they all are jealous of all the toys in her hospital room but mostly are jealous of her big new scar on her belly! They all leave and wish her well but that night Miss Clevel awakens to find them all crying saying they want their appendix out too! She tells them to be thankful for their good health. In the very back of the book there is a page of listing of items that are actualy in France that you can see throughout the book. So if you arent familiar with monuments-items in France this gives you a neat look into things. Like the Eiffel Tower, The Place Vendome, Notre Dame and other scenes

I loved this book as a little girl, as did my daughter. I just gave it to my Granddaughter who had me read it over and over when I visited.

This book was a treasure during my own childhood. Its so nice to it new and beautifully bound.

Great Book that is timeless. My niece just turned 2 and she loves this book; as did I when I was little.

This is a classic book and must-have for an at-home childrens library. Our 3 year old enjoys this book and frequently requests it at bedtime and as part of our story-time routine.

Perfect board book! Colors are vibrant, pages are nice and thick. Great size for little people and years of reading.
