Madeleine - Hebrew Version
By Ludwig Bemelmans
(56 Pages)Ages 4-7 Publisher: Modan Publishing, 1996
"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines" lives plucky Madeline with 11 other girls under the care of the kind Miss Clavel. Madeline wakes up in the night with appendicitis and is rushed off to the hospital. The other girls visit Madeline after the operation and see her gifts, her candy, and above all, her scar. That night they all cry, "Boohoo, we want to have our appendix out too!" Bemelmans's drawings of Paris bring the charm of the city to young readers
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.
