My daughter is two years old, and this was our first Madeline DVD. I like the fact that it is faithful to the style of the Madeline books, with charming animation accompanied by narration in rhymed couplets. Both stories on this DVD focus on the dog, Genevieve. One story describes how Genevieve came to live with Madeline (based on the book, "Madeline's Rescue"), and the other describes her entry into a Parisian dog show. Filled with humor and delightful songs. My daughter especially loved the episode about "Madeline's Rescue."

We have loved Madeline since we purchased the Madeline at the Ballet/Madeline in New York. We love Madeline and the Dog show, it has great songs and is very cute. The second episode of Madeline's rescue is older and is more musical. It is a little sad for my 2 year old daughter to watch. She got very worried about Genevieve when they show her being driven out of town and tossed out of the car, in the rain. Because of this, we don't watch the rescue one right now, but really enjoy the dog show.

My daughter first watched this video at around 20 months and just loved the dog and got so excited. We ended up buying many more Madeline videos, but we still think this one is the best. Lots of songs and, of course, the dog!
