Bemelmans,
L. (1953). Madeline's rescue. New York: Viking Press.
Twelve
young girls reside at a school in Paris. The smallest, Madeline, has an
unfortunate accident, but is rescued by a stray dog who the girls name
Genevieve. Miss Clavel allows Genevieve to stay until the trustees perform
their annual inspection and cast her out. Eventually, she returns with a delightful
surprise for all!
Madeline’s Rescue is
a delicious story that made me smile. Madeline is an endearing character. When
she innocently makes trouble, you’ll love her even more! The rhythmic, rhyming
nature of the book adds to its charm. After reading this book, you’ll surely
want to read Ludwig Bemelmans’ other books about Madeline or those written by John Bemelmans Marciano, Ludwig's grandson, who continued writing the Madeline stories after Ludwig's death.
