Bookroo's summary
In a charming Parisian house, fearless Madeline and her friends visit Pepito in England for his birthday. When Pepito's mother refuses to let him keep a horse he received as a gift, Madeline steps in with a daring plan. Will her courage and creativity save the day? Join Madeline on this whimsical adventure filled with humor and heart.
From the publisher
“In an old house in Paris
that was covered with vines
lived twelve little girls
in two straight lines
the smallest one was Madeline.”
Nothing frightens Madeline—not tigers, not even mice. With its endearing, courageous heroine, cheerful humor, and wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris, the Madeline stories are true classics that continue to charm readers even after 75 years!
Pepito has moved to England. To help celebrate his birthday, Miss Clavel and the girls pay him a visit. When his mother won’t let Pepito keep one of his birthday presents–a horse–Madeline is more than willing to help out.
