Madeline

Step into the charming world of Paris with Madeline, Ludwig Bemelmans' timeless classic that has delighted readers for generations. In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines, twelve little girls in two straight lines live under the care of Miss Clavel (Type 1). But it is brave, mischievous Madeline (Type 7)—smallest yet boldest of them all—who captures hearts with her fearless spirit and boundless curiosity.

From adventures at the zoo to a sudden dash to the hospital, Madeline faces every challenge with courage and charm. Bemelmans' playful rhymes and iconic illustrations bring to life the beauty of Paris and the joy of childhood independence, making Madeline a must-have for every bookshelf.

Perfect for reading aloud or sharing at bedtime, Madeline continues to inspire young readers to embrace courage, kindness, and the thrill of adventure.

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.
