Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Piggybacking onto the original Madeline books by his grandfather, Marciano sends the "twelve little girls in two straight lines" to Rome, where his red-haired heroine chases a thief and saves a house full of cats. Like its models, this add-on is filled with both yellow and full-color pages, absurd plot twists and a Bemelmans-style visual guide of places to visit. Regrettably, as in his Madeline Says Merci, Marciano's didactic theme reduces the spirited Madeline to a smug counterfeit. When the thief Catarina explains that she steals only to feed Rome's starving stray cats, Madeline self-righteously says, "While I applaud your charity,/ Let me say this with clarity:/ STEALING IS WRONG-no matter the cause." Awkward syntax and forced rhymes abound ("Madeline said, 'My, what a nice kitten.'/ Her dog was of a different opinion"), and at their best the illustrations are no more than serviceable imitations of Bemelmans's style. The joy and brio of the original books go missing. Ages 3-up. (Sept.)

From The Critics
The original stories about Madeline have remained popular over the years. Bemelmans's grandson has been inspired by the character and the city of Rome to set Madeline on a new adventure, capturing both the spirit of the rhyming text and the style of the illustration. Miss Clavell and the 12 little girls leave gloomy Paris for the sun, sights and tastes of Rome. There they enjoy touring all the high spots and eating. When they gather for a photo, however, a young girl snatches the camera. Madeline and her dog Genevieve give chase. They end at a shabby house filled with cats. There the young thief claims to steal to support the "orphans of the street," but Madeline insists stealing is wrong. A confrontation follows, ending with both girls at the police station. The plot is a bit muddy, but a happy solution is found at the end. For those who know and value the original stories, this new adventure will refresh pleasant memories while adding an invitation to visit Rome, if only vicariously. For newcomers, this lighthearted adventure should motivate them to seek out the source. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz

    True to the Originals

    If I hadn't known it was written by Ludwig Bemelmans' grandson I would never have guessed so -- the illustrations are perfectly true to the originals. The story is cute and sweet -- just what you would expect from a Madeline story. It is a must-have for any Madeline fan -- young or old.
