The Kids of Foster City, Ca.

I was asked to read to a first grade class which consisted of 20 six year old boys & girls. I had lived in Rome for several years, consequently the John Bemelmans Marciano book "Madeline And The Cats of Rome" appealed to me. It is a very well put together work with wonderful art work which is true to the city. The children loved it and had many questions and opinions about the city and the cats. They all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the tale and wanted to talk about it, after the reading. For me, it was a very rewarding experience to see the children enjoying themselves being transported to a beautiful place with an exciting story about other children and the famous cats of Rome. I give it an AAA + Sincerely, John Ryckman, San Francisco, Ca.

We Love Madeline!

We were excited to see a new Madeline book in the series. We have enjoyed reading it. Although I must admit I enjoy it a little more than my 26 month old daughter. I think she will quickly grow to love Madeline just as I have always loved her.

More enchantment from Madeline

The charm and energy of the illustrations in the Madeline books never fails to disappoint. John Marciano has carried on the tradition with a sure hand, and while his images honor the tone of his grandfather's marvelous works, they have a light spirit about them which remains contemporary.
