“I love Madeline, but this just felt totally random and a bit of a stretch.”

“Madeline is a beloved character in our house, and while Madeline and Madeline's Rescue are the main books we read over and over again, it's fun to be able to use our favorite character to explore other places, settings, and situations. This board book edition of Madeline at the White House makes it that much easier to share with my littlest readers.”
