Madeline

Set in picturesque Paris, this tale of a brave little girl’s trip to the hospital is as appealing today as it was in 1940. The combination of spirited heroine, timelessly appealing art, cheerful humor, and rhythmic text makes “Madeline” a perennial favorite with children of all ages

Rating: ****

This story captures its younger listeners more than its older readers. It has a wonderful singsong rhyme that places you right into the school.
