Madeline's Christmas
Bemelmans' tiny heroine is the only person in the old house covered with
vines who still feels well this Christmas season; everyone else has a
cold. A knock at the door is not Santa Claus, but someone equally
welcome, a rug merchant. Madeline buys all of his rugs to warm her
housemates' feet. At last, the merchant is now cold and returns to be
doctored by Madeline. It turns out he is also a magician, and turns the
rugs into flying carpets to fly the girls home to their families for
Christmas. This Christmas story is a little disjointed and is more concerned with
the magic than Madeline. Diehard fans of the series will still clamor
for it anyway. This Christmas kids book first appeared as a book insert in the 1956
Christmas edition of McCall's and was restored with the help of the
Bemelmans family. This Christmas book for kids is for reading level ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other Christmas books you would like to have reviewed. Share this post with your friends.
