This review is from: Madeline in America (Hardcover)

"In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines." In 1939, Ludwig Bemelmans began writing stories about a group of girls in a school in Paris, foremost among whom was the irrepressible Madeline. Those books are now considered classics in children's literature, having collected many awards.

In this Madeline adventure, Madeline's is saddened to learn of the death of her great-grandpapa, who had made a fortune in Texas. And so, Miss Clavel and the rest of the girls go with Madeline to Texas, where they see so many fascinating things, and have so many fun adventures!

This is another great Madeline story. I liked the gentle rhyming of the story, and my four-year-old daughter liked the many fun things that Madeline did. So, let's just say that this book is a classic of children's literature for a reason! My little one and I both highly recommend this great book.
