I loved the Madeline books as a child, so when my daughter turned two I ordered this for her.... and it's truly one of her favorite books. The story is a classic, and the illustrations are as charming as ever! Thirty + years hasn't dimmed it's magic for me.Book Review: Madeline - Caldecott Award Winner

This book was a favorite on Christmas afternoon as I read it to her the first time. My granddaughter laughed and giggled. It is obvious why this classic children's book received the Caldecott Award. It is a must have for a pre-K and up library!Book Review: Mad about Madeline

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a true classic. It makes me wish that I could visit Paris THIS April!!Book Review: A Delightfully Engaging Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
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 Madeline's 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.
