Although "Madeline" probably needs no introduction, this classic story set in Paris is about a Miss Clavel and twelve little girls. The smallest girl is Madeline, who is brave and does not even get scared of a lion in the zoo. Madeline scares Miss Clavel when one night she... Ludwig Bemelmans does a great job of corresponding the illustrations to the content of the story. The scene where Madeline is saying "pooh-pooh" to the lion, it has more color than other pages making it exciting. The illustrations compliment the plot and setting of the story by giving each page a mood that helps create the story. The rythem and humor in this book will appeal to most children. I found when reading it to my daughter we both giggled at the many rhymes which Ludwig Bemelmans chose as the characteristic to tell this story in. I would reccomend this book for readers at the preschool age up to age eight or so. For the younger reader it has a great rythem and illustrations that keep the eye interested. For the older reader the story is equally interesting with a slight hint of suspence. Ludwig Bemelmans drawing's of the Opera, Notre Dame in the rain and of the children playing in the Luxembourg gardens give a classic picture of Paris. The illustrations coupled with the easy flow of the story and rhyme will allow this book to be enjoyed in a timeless fashion! DawnENGL340 at SJC

Bemelmans Best

When I was little I loved reading this wonderful story about a little girl named Madeline. I loved how the story rhymed and how the pictures were so decorative. Bemelman does a wonderful job at telling the story about Madeline the smallest girl of twelve at a school. Madeline gets into mischief but in the end everything turns out all right.

Madeline is a great book!

I love Madeline so much. She is my favorite little French girl.

Madeline--every girl's girl.

Ludwig Bemelman has captured in the character of Madeline the spunk and innocent mischief that make little girls such fun...and so surprising! From Madeline's 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. They've even taken to studying French with me! Bemelman's 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!

My first meeting with Madeline

Growing up in Norway I had never heard of Madeline untill my family visited USA some years ago. Our oldest daughter was then in the perfect age for the Madeline books (and dolls) We bought Madeline, and have since then read it over and over again. Now our youngest daughter is 6, and it's her turn to be in the perfect Madeline age.

Madeline is a little girl living in Paris with 11 other small girls, and their teacher Miss Clavel. Madeline is a charming little girl, and see to it that life in the small school is never boring. The story is told on rhymes in a perfectly charming way. You should think that the story might be a little hard to follow for the reader/listener, but the contrary is the truth. Just as it is a cute, charming story it is a great way of introducing rhymes to your children.

Of course, the most funny part is when Madeline is in hospital because of her appendix and all the other 11 girls also want to woke up in the middle of the night, to be taken to the hospital to have a scar on their stomach. It is lovely reading :-)
