There are many Madeline books. This one is new, though, written by Ludwig Bemelmans’ grandson.  I think it is pretty true to the  flavour of the orginal. We read it tonight. I don’t think it is my favourite . That would have to go to the orginal Madeline when she has her appendix out. I love that Madeline notices the rabbit shape crack on the ceiling probably because it is just the kind of thing I would notice spending all day in bed.
