My girls love this book read aloud to them! It's fun reading it with a French accent!
My three year old daughter loves the original Madeline book. This was a nice addition (and new read for us), plus we learned where Genevieve comes into the story! Each page contains just the right amount of text to hold her pre-school attention span.
Madeline stories are always a good read.
Great book for kids.
