“This book is about a little girl names Madeline. It talks about 12 little girls who live in Paris and how their daily lives go. Madeline ends up getting very sick and ends up in the hospital. The girls come and visit her in the hospital and end up wanting to be in the hospital with Madeline. This is a great books for girls who have several best friends and feel like they can not go a day without being with them.”

This book shows the differences but yet good qualities /benefits living in an orphanage can have. This book also demonstrates child friendly vocabulary and children can really relate to sweet Madeline. Madeline takes the reader on an adventure of what its like to live with several girls living under one roof. This book is very funny, and was a classic of mine growing up. A great read for young children, with great illustrations.”

This book won the Caldecott Honor.
S: Paris is Madeline’s playground that she enjoys with eleven other girls. Even though she’s the smallest, she enjoys any kind of adventure, even if one is going to the hospital.
R: This book is a true classic and fun to read at any age. The pictures stand out with the use of yellow and each group of two lines end in a rhyme.
In the classroom:
• Read aloud
• Classroom library
• Teach children about real life experiences, like going to a hospital.

Introduces children to geography- learning about a city (Paris) in a different country (for American students of course). Especially a good read for young girls. Madeline contains unique art and illustrations that are different from many children books read today.
I like this book because it is set in Paris. I think that this expands a child's mind with the setting and environment alone. ”

Description: This book tells the story of Madeline, an orphan who lives with other girls and Ms. Cavel. She winds up in the hospital after a mishap but is in good spirits the entire time. The book is very light-hearted and humorous. The book also uses rhyming and sing-song text, which students can use to learn letter combination sounds.
Emergent Literacy Learning Strategies: Words reflect meaning in life and pictures (picture walks), oral language/narrative language (spoken and written language using perspective), words combine to form sentences and tell stories (read-alouds), repitition of words (encourages word recognition), rhyming (letter combinations form consistent sounds). ”

Author/Illustrator: Ludwig Bemelans
Date of Publication: 1939
Place of Publication: New York
Publisher: The Viking Press
Why it is relevant and appropriate for children from birth to age 5: This book is relevant and appropriate for young children because it shows Madeline's journey through picturesque images and creative scenes. Madeline is one of America's favorite story time children for many young learners. Her adventures can also be seen on television screens, where students can relate their reading.
Emergent Literacy Strategies: Two critical emergent literacy strategies for this book are reader’s theatre and vocabulary. Students can learn different French words in the book and apply these words to the English language. Students can also act out various adventurous scenes from Madeline in small groups or pairs.

““Twelve little girls all in line, and the littlest one is Madeline.” This story is full of adventure and it is funny. It is about Madeline's trip to the hospital to get her appendix out. ”
