Madeline

I was surprised by the set I received but am very impressed with everything it came with, I find it very useful

This book is a Caldecott Honor Book. Madeline books sometimes (in my opinion) not so good but others are wonderful! You never know when you go to open the cover! This one I really loved and my almost 3 year old granddaughter loved sitting in my lap looking at the pictures and listening to the rhyming lines. Madeline is a little girl in France that lives with 11 other little girls with a nun that cares for them all in a boarding school. Madeline is the littlest one of the girls and the most adventurous. Sometimes (like in this book) her manners are well and shes adorable...in other books (my opinion here) shes over the top on bad manners and just gets into everything etc. In this book Madeline gets very sick and is rushed out in a hurry awakin in a hospital after an appendix operation. When the girls come visit they all are jealous of all the toys in her hospital room but mostly are jealous of her big new scar on her belly! They all leave and wish her well but that night Miss Clevel awakens to find them all crying saying they want their appendix out too! She tells them to be thankful for their good health. In the very back of the book there is a page of listing of items that are actualy in France that you can see throughout the book. So if you arent familiar with monuments-items in France this gives you a neat look into things. Like the Eiffel Tower, The Place Vendome, Notre Dame and other scenes

Nice story for children-keeps their interest

Item is exactly as described. Bought this for a family baby shower because cardboard books are so much more durable for little ones.

I bought this for a baby shower and the book came in perfect condition. Very happy with my purchase!
