Everyone gets her Christmas wish when Madeline’s in charge! Something is not right with the famous “twelve little girls in two straight lines.” All are sick in bed except brave Madeline, who must run the school, for even Miss Clavel is not feeling very well. But when Madeline finds help from a magical merchant, the girls embark on a Christmas journey that will surely make them forget their sniffles and sneezes.
We love Madeline, and we love having a special Madeline book that we only pull out around Christmastime! As far as plot goes, it's hard to compete with the original book, but we still find this book fun and festive.
