The Adventures of Madeline in Mystery Land : Madeline is one of the best-loved characters in children's literature. Set in picturesque Paris, this tale of a brave little girl's trip to the hospital was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1940 and has as much appeal today as it did then. The combination of a spirited heroine, timelessly appealing art, cheerful humor, and rhythmic text makes Madeline a perennial favorite with children of all ages. Okay, so I have seen many people say that Madeline is an orphan. I guess I figured she was in a boarding school since she got toys from her "Papa" while in the hospital. Or am I missing something? I ask because I am not familiar with anything Madeline and first just read this to my daughter for her school work. Thank you -so much..All of You.. Enjoy.

Winner of the Caldecott Medal “In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines the smallest one was Madeline.” Nothing frightens Madeline—not tigers, not even mice. With its endearing, courageous heroine, cheerful humor, and wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris, the Madeline stories are true classics that continue to charm readers even after 75 years! When Madeline falls into the river Seine and nearly drowns, a courageous canine comes to her rescue. Now Genevieve the dog is Madeline's cherished pet, and the envy of all the other girls. What can be done when there's just not enough hound to go around? 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.

As they use the colorful, reusable stickers to place Madeline, Pepito, and all their friends in beautiful Parisian scenes, children can read the entire text of the original Bemelmans' story. The activity book includes 50 reusable stickers, two gatefold panoramic scenes, two full-color one-page scenes, and 16 pages of games, puzzles, and pictures.
