內容簡介: |
An old house in Paris that was covered with vines
Lived twelve little girls in two straight lines.
Day in, day out, they got along fine
They''d hardly ever shout or whine.
Madeline loves adventure and is not afraid of mice. She loves
winter, snow, and ice. And she also knows the secret of being
polite is simply to be kind to others. With help from her
friends--Miss Clavel, the girls, and even Pepito-Madeline
introduces basic ideas such as please and thank you, sharing,
cleaning up, and so much more. With its charming illustrations and
humorous verse, this new book is a must-have for Madeline fans of
all ages.
Learning some pleases and thank yous is virtually painless
when that beloved redheaded Parisian, Madeline, is doing the
teaching. John Bemelmans Marciano, grandson of Madeline creator
Ludwig Bemelmans, pens a politeness how-to book, based on the
characters and setting of the original Madeline. Divided into
chapters headed "Hello," "Please and Thank You," "Kindness and
Consideration," etc., the book-in-verse spells out appropriate
actions in varying situations:
If you do something you know is wrong
Such as going where you don''t belong
Don''t make it worse by telling lies;
Say you''re sorry and apologize.
Marciano is witty in both word and picture, and young fans of
Madeline will certainly get the message without feeling too much
like Miss Clavel is shaking her finger at them. Ages 4 to 7
