This book is known as MADELINE and you will find it very fine. It's much more fun than toys, for little girls and little boys. Its heroine as you will see, lives in a place pronounced Paree: which gives you quite a splendid chance to learn the ways of Paris, France. Madeline has lots of friends, and plays with them until day ends. She has an appendectomy, and still the book ends happily. Of fun and pictures, it's a mine—for goodness' sake read MADELINE!
