Madeline Loves Animals

Madeline Loves Animals is a delightful board book that introduces young children to various creatures through simple, engaging rhymes. Following Madeline as she encounters animals from a mouse in her house to birds in the square and cats on the street, this book is designed for the youngest fans of the classic character. The charming verse by Ludwig Bemelmans' grandson, John Bemelmans Marciano, captures the original spirit, making it a wonderful read-aloud for toddlers and preschoolers. While the publisher lists an age range of 4-11, this 16-page board book is best suited for children aged 0-5, serving as an excellent first introduction to the world of Madeline and animals.

Madelines says hello to a tiger, butterfly and even a mouse in this charming, boardbook edition! This charming, rhyming board book is just right for Madeline’s youngest fans. Each spread features Madeline with a different animal friend: brushing her teeth with an adorable mouse (with whom she shares her house), scattering breadcrumbs everywhere for the birds in the square, stopping to greet the cats on the street, and more. John Bemelmans Marciano, grandson of Madeline’s creator, Ludwig Bemelmans, shares his grandfather’s flair for lively verse and vivid artwork.
