See also: Madeline Plush Doll - a perfect compliment to the book!
"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines" lives plucky Madeline with 11 other girls under the care of the kind Miss Clavel. Nothing frightens Madeline - not tigers, not mice, not even getting sick. Madeline wakes up in the night with appendicitis and is rushed off to the hospital. The other girls visit Madeline after the operation and see her gifts, her candy, and above all, her scar. To Madeline, a trip to the hospital is a grand adventure.
A true classic - and a Caldecott Honor book - Madeline continues to enchant readers more than sixty years after its first publication.
We've included a tactile drawing of Madeline by Artist Ann Cunningham.
Who doesn't love Madeline? She represents every girl who is curious and refuses to go along with the crowd. She would rather exercise her independence and, by doing so, gains the respect and admiration of all who meet her.
