"Set in picturesque Paris, this tale of a brave little girl's trip to the hospital is as appealing today as it was in 1940. The combination of spirited heroine, timelessly appealing art, cheerful humor, and rhythmic text makes 'Madeline' a perennial favorite with children of all ages. "
One of this month's craft ideas inspired by this book is to create characters and architectural monuments from the book.
To begin:
1. Draw and color out the characters or significant buildings or monuments from the book. The children may claim to not know how to draw, but trust us, they do. Encourage them to be creative. Show them how to draw a stick figure, and add a hat, just like Madeline.
2. Cut out the drawings.
3. Attach Popsicle sticks to the back of each characters or building/structure.
4. Once they have their "scene characters" set, have the kids take turns acting out passages from the story.
