Grade Level 3.8 Madeline is a great story to introduce young students to scary concepts, like having surgery or going to the hospital, through a fictional tale.
I may have heard about this series/this book before, however it really came to my attention yesterday, when someone I friended on Goodreads read this one. It looked fun, and right up my alley.And did it turn out to be that way? Yes, though it wasn't because of the so-called timelessly appealing art ...
This is one of my childhood favorites. This may be strange. Even as a child, I had a sense there was something going on between Madeline and Pepito. I felt they had a thing going on. You know, "Romantically". What the hell is wrong with me! Is that just me? They were kids and yet I could sense some...
Thanks to Powerbooks! I read it for free. :D
One of my favorite picture books. The illustrations are playful and impressionistic and the story is one to remember. I read it as a child, read it to my daughter when she was little and now to my great niece and if I have grand children I'll read it to them.
