“In an old house in Paris
 that was covered with vines
 lived twelve little girls
 in two straight lines
 the smallest one was Madeline.”
 
 
Nothing frightens Madeline—not tigers, not even mice. With its endearing, courageous heroine, cheerful humor, and wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris, the Madeline stories are true classics that continue to charm readers, even after 75 years!

Ludwig Bemelmans (1898-1962) was the author of the beloved Madeline books, including Madeline, a Caldecott Honor Book, and Madeline's Rescue, winner of the Caldecott Medal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful board book
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024

After having this board book checked out for two months straight, because my daughter loved it so, I knew it was time for us to own a copy ourselves. This book still read several times a week, and has someone managed to still be charming for both baby and adults ( a rarity indeed for how often we read it!). The oard book version has vibrant colors and high quality, glossy, hard pages. It has withstood my baby gumming it and attempts to naw at it while teething surprisingly well. So, no worries if your toddler or baby is hard on books.

For those who are curious, it is slightly abridged compared to a paperback version, but not by munch. A couplet or two here or there. I think all but one image is in both books. Also, it is a smaller size than the picture book, but I find the size much easier to move around and to store away in a book basket or somesuch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Madeline tem uma história além de seu livro
Reviewed in Brazil on January 12, 2023
Verified Purchase
O livro é lindo, bem ilustrado e realmente um belo artigo para coleção. A história é simples e divertida. Mas a origem e os efeitos da obra são além do que aparece. Escrito por um Austríaco, no início da segunda guerra mundial, fala sobre a França e é considerado uma obra genuinamente americana. Inclusive recebendo prêmio clássico americano. O livro foi um sucesso pros americanos principalmente após a invasão da Alemanha na França. O livro foi adaptado a diversas mídias diferentes, estúdios diferentes. Além de diversas continuações escritas e destaque em um restaurante em Nova York.
