Book Reviews of the Madeline
Customer Review: Did anyone else notice this doesn't rhyme?
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm guessing this is a translation from a foreign language, because a fair number of the verses either don't rhyme or rhyme randomly mid-sentence. It makes it difficult to read. Additionally some parts don't make sense anymore. (Do any other parents know how a phone might ring "DAN-TON-ten-six"? Neither did I.)
Additionally the Madeline character keeps changing during the story. I'm not sure if she's a red-head or a blonde.
So if you're buying this out of nostalgia, you may want to borrow a copy from the library first. It doesn't make nearly as much sense as I remember it making...
