This playful activity book--packed with crossword puzzles, pictures to color, hidden-object games, and more--folds out on both sides to large, full-color glossy pages that depict spectacular Parisian scenes of a park, the old house, and even the hospital room with the bunny-shaped crack in the ceiling.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent little activity book for young Madeline fans, December 17, 2002

By	audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

We purchased this activity book to help keep our toddler entertained during a plane flight, and it was perfect. There are about 50 reusable vinyl stickers that can be placed on four scenes -- two-page spreads showing the park in summer and in winter and two one-page views of the Eiffel tower area and Madeline's hospital room. The stickers feature Madeline, the other girls, Miss Clavell and Pepito in various attires and performing a variety of activities, miscellaneous characters from the Paris milieu, and accessories like balloons, a kite and a snowman. The book also contains the complete Madeline poem by Ludwig Bemelmans, simple instructions on how to draw Madeline herself and one each of a hidden word, fill-in-the-blank, matching, hidden picture, maze and crossword puzzle as well as one page for coloring. Very nice little activity book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This sticker book is great., November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This Madeline sticker book is great, I really liked it because it has a lot of reusable stickers I see in the Madeline videos. It is fun to play with because you can move the stickers wherever you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for travel too!, December 29, 2004

By	jodienut (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews

The "vinyl stickers" in this book are actually the same material as window clings. We took this book on a car trip, and my daughter wound up sticking the clings to the window and making a play scene there. Great fun, highly recommended.
