Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful for All ages!
Review: I absolutely love the madeline books. I think you can be any age and still enjoy them. This particular book happens to have all the stories in one fabulous book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We love "Madeline". We read them all the time.
Review: I am sitting here with a young lady four years old who is also called Madeline and a large part of her being named Madeline was that I as her father - am "Mad about Madeline" too.

It is the flow and rythmn of the stories plus the beautiful water color illustrations. My four year old's favorite is "Madeline's Rescue". My favorite is "Madeline and the Gypsies" but they are all outstanding. A childhood without one of these books - buy one of the paperbacks if you you are new to Madeline and don't want to buy the complete selection yet- is incomprehensible.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful childhood story children and adults love!
Review: I had this book when I was little, and I will share it with my children. An endearing little girl experiences mishap and adventure, while charming you to your toes! These stories are what childhood is about.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What's with Madeline?
Review: I honestly don't know how to review these works. Obviously they are well-loved and have stood the test of time. But on closer inspection, the stories are kind of weak. The 11 girls who have the misfortune of not being Madeline are nameless, dialog-less, characterless ciphers -- for six books! Pepito changes overnight from an animal-abusing brat to a saint? And the christmas story is just plain stupid.

But like the illustrations, in the end the stories are examples of how sloppy and messy can work. The cadences of the text are wonderful. And my 3-year-old daughter loves the books. Who am I to complain?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Adorable characters and great story lines!
Review: I just bought this for my 3 year old daughter as I wanted to introduce her to Madeline.

Madeline and Miss. Clavel (are) brilliantly brought to life in each of the six short stories. There are are bright, vivid pictures with not too many lines which hold the little one's attention (If the wonderful story lines didn't!)

My daughter and I are really pleased!

Summary: Great Collection of Stories for Girls
Review: I originally bought this book for my daughter so she could get a book of her own when the book delivery arrived in the mail.
There are 6 stories - poetic, simple, and time tested.
My daughter is a great reader now, and I attribute this book as one of those that sparked her interest in reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a really good book
Review: Madeline is really cool. I'm seven and I like watching Madeline on T.V.and reading the books alot. They're great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My two-year old daughter is hooked already.
Review: My daughter had seen a couple of Madeline videos (including Madeline's Resuce) and really enjoyed them, so I decided to purchase this book. Well, after only having it for a week and a half, she is pulling it off her bookshelf and asking me to read it to her. The sing-song quality of the prose has her "reading" along with me as best she can already.

These stories can be understood by toddlers even at this early age, although the "recommended" age for this book is older.

A great book and a good deal - worth the price.
