Summary of Madeline Says Merci: The Always-Be-Polite Book

n an old house in Paris that was covered with vines
Lived twelve little girls in two straight lines.
Day in, day out, they got along fine
They'd hardly ever shout or whine.


Madeline loves adventure and is not afraid of mice. She loves winter, snow, and ice. And she also knows the secret of being polite is simply to be kind to others. With help from her friends--Miss Clavel, the girls, and even Pepito-Madeline introduces basic ideas such as please and thank you, sharing, cleaning up, and so much more. With its charming illustrations and humorous verse, this new book is a must-have for Madeline fans of all ages.
Learning some pleases and thank yous is virtually painless when that beloved redheaded Parisian, Madeline, is doing the teaching. John Bemelmans Marciano, grandson of Madeline creator Ludwig Bemelmans, pens a politeness how-to book, based on the characters and setting of the original Madeline. Divided into chapters headed "Hello," "Please and Thank You," "Kindness and Consideration," etc., the book-in-verse spells out appropriate actions in varying situations:
If you do something you know is wrong
Such as going where you don't belong
Don't make it worse by telling lies;
Say you're sorry and apologize.
Marciano is witty in both word and picture, and young fans of Madeline will certainly get the message without feeling too much like Miss Clavel is shaking her finger at them. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
