Madeline [abridged ed.]

by Ludwig Bemelmans (author & illustrator)

“In an old house in Paris
that was covered with vines
Lived twelve little girls
in two straight lines.”

The smallest one, of course, was Madeline. Nothing frightens Madeline—not tigers, not mice, not even getting sick. Even a trip to the hospital is a grand adventure. 

While the text is slightly abridged—a couple of lines taken out here and there, though the words themselves appear to have not been altered—none of the charm of the original book is lost as a new format brings this classic title to a younger audience. Written in rhyme.

A Caldecott Honor Book.
