Madeline and the Old House in Paris


by John Bemelmans Marciano 
 
The first book I ever “read” was Madeline. Now, when I say “read,” I really mean “recited while turning the pages at the correct moment.” It is this sort of Madeline fan that Madeline and the Old House in Paris is for, a child who knows the lines from all the old books. Though a new Madeline story, the beginning of this book remixes lines from the originals, empowering the reader who can't quite read.
