Product Description

Editorial Review
Little Madeline has been beloved by generations of children since her story was first published in 1939 by Ludwig Bemelmans. The 8-inch posable Madeline doll is now a favorite with little girls who enjoy acting out Madeline's adventures. This fully jointed doll has a sweetly mischievous smile and thick, silky red hair that's tied on one side with a chic black bow. She even sports a tiny appendix scar on her tummy, just like the book character. Madeline is properly dressed for a walk in a Parisian park, wearing her favorite blue coat with the wide collar, and her famous yellow felt picture hat, trimmed with a black satin ribbon. Underneath her coat, Madeline wears a red plaid dress and white undies. Her outfit is completed with proper white gloves, white cotton socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. Other outfits (sold separately) are also available to keep Mademoiselle Madeline dressed in style. --Marcie Bovetz

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Barbie!, November 28, 2002

Turn off the television, give away the Barbies and read the Madeline stories together. Then present your child with this Madeline doll or one of her friends, and watch the imagination roll in wholesome play. This little doll delights all my girls between the ages of one and six (although we did not give the shoes, socks or gloves to the littlest). They take her and her friends in the bathtub, out in the sandbox, everywhere! She holds up nicely and washes easily, and her hair, although it isn't quite as nice and neat as it used to be, is fun to comb and restyle. The smallest fingers will need help dressing Madeline and her friends, and little shoes are easily lost, but, with a little organization and some initial assistance, your three-year-old and above should catch on in no time! This is an ideal toy if you wish to avoid giving your child overly-developed Barbies or other toys that do nothing to stimulate wholesome play. Better yet, it may also instill in her a stronger interest in the Madeline books and consequently a lifetime love of reading. As a homeschool family of four young girls, we love Madeline and her values!

5.0 out of 5 stars A doll little girls can relate to, October 19, 2000

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

With two daughters hooked on Barbie's, I was looking for a doll that they could better relate to in terms of the body, clothes, etc. Madeline has been so much fun for them. They love changing her clothes and pretend she is off on an adventure. My daugters enjoyed their first Madeline so much, that we have added Chloe, Nicole, and her other friends. Some of the outfits are difficult for my 4-year-old to change.

My soon to be 3 year old daughter recieved this doll as a gift this summer. Madeline goes everywhere with her and has many adventures. My daughter loves to change her outfits and act out scenes from the videos. I think madeline is an excellent role model for young children. I like her too.
