It's Madeline's birthday, and Madeline's friends have given her an album filled with pictures of her most famous escapades. While children look at the scenes from Madeline's life, they can place stickers on the bridge where she was rescued by Genevieve the dog or in the circus where she performed with Pepito. They can even decorate the Old House in Paris for Madeline's party! 16 pages of special recipes, games, and pictures to color are included. When children are done, they can simply put the stickers back on their sheets to play with Madeline and her friends all year round.
Ludwig Bemelmans, Austrian-American illustrator, wrote books, such as Madeline in 1939, for children, and his experiences in the restaurant business based Hotel Splendide, adult fiction in 1940.
People internationally knew Ludwig Bemelmans, an author and a gourmand. People today most note his six publications to 1961. After his death, people discovered and posthumously published a seventh in 1999.
