| 內容簡介： |
It''s the night before Christmas and everyone is sick in bed. All
except brave Madeline, who is up and about and feeling just fine.
Taking care of eleven little girls and Miss Clavel is hard work,
but Madeline finds help from a magical merchant peddling flying
carpets door-to-door. Now the girls are going on a Christmas
journey that will surely make them forget their sniffles and
sneezes. Great for gift-giving and group sharing, Madeline''s
Christmas now joins the five other books about Madeline as a
deluxe, full-sized paperback.
''Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not
a creature was stirring because of a nasty, contagious
illness--even the mouse is in bed with a miserable cold. Only brave
Madeline is up and about ... competently running the household
until she hears a knock at the door--a visitor whom she suspects
might be Santa Claus. Instead it is a magical-rug merchant, with 12
red carpets that Madeline thinks would be perfect for the 12 girls
and "For our ice-cold in the morning feet." She procures a few
francs from Miss Clavel and pays the merchant. Without his rugs,
however, he is very chilly, and he feels quite silly for having
sold them. He returns to the old house still covered in vines,
where Madeline helps him thaw out, and he works a little Christmas
magic--sending the girls on cross-country carpet rides to surprise
their parents. Of course, Miss Clavel''s bell breaks the spell and
they''re all back in time to celebrate the New Year. Ages 4 to 8
