Status Updates From A Madeline Treasury

Read the next two tonight:
Madeleine's Rescue- Genevieve is a very good doggo! Also: the utter terror of Ms. Clavel being correct about the danger of walking on the railing of a bridge over the Seine.

Madeline and the Gypsies- the classic "run away with the circus" story. I changed the g word to Romani as I read this and it didn't interrupt the rhyming couplets. Negative stereotype of kidnapping too, alas.

Technically, this is a reread for me because this is my childhood copy of the Madeline anthology. H got Madeline stickers at school today and was sticking them to herself (I think they might've actually been from the '90s- maybe Ms Carrie's stash is like my mom's) so I figured we should start.

Got through both "Madeline" & "Madeline and the Bad Hat". 1930s France is charmingly illustrated! "[Pepito] is mean." -H

“Madeline in London” complete.

“Madeline and the Gypsies” complete.

“Madeline and the Bad Hat” complete.

“Madeline’s Rescue” complete.

“Madeline” complete. I honestly can’t remember if I read the books when I was little, but I’m quite familiar with the cartoons and live-action film.

Ugg, so wonderfully wholesome. ♥️♥️♥️
I smiled the whole way through. ♥️
