This book is a true classic. It makes me wish that I could visit Paris THIS April.
It has bothered me for years. Since we know Madeleine is in the hospital there is an extra little girl in this one picture.
I don't know if it was intentionally meant as a joke by the author (to see how many people would notice) or if it was a hastily drawn mistake, but in the picture where the girls had come home AFTER visiting Madeleine in the hospital, they are all standing in line, breaking their bread (before they brush their teeth and go to bed). There is a mistake in this classic book.
In the next three consecutive picture of the girls there are only eleven. Count them.
When they are breaking their bread there are twelve. I have never heard or seen any discussion about this and would like to know if any of you has ever noticed it.
These books are a MUST HAVE for all little girls. My daughter is a Madeline fanatic. ENJOY them.
I love Madeline's big heart, and so does my little girl who used to watch the cartoon series on Disney Channel before she reached school age. When the book came in the mail and she opened the package, she was really surprised and took it to school two days later for show-and-tell. She recognized Madeline, the school and the other little girls from the cartoon, and had a blast reading instead of watching a new story about the little girls.
This book is a cute story, beautiful art of Paris pre WW2. Our granddaughter will love the story about Madeline.
