of the twelve famous little girls and Genevieve the dog take
readers once more to Bemelmans'' unique and delightful Paris. A
Caldecott Award Book. Full-color illustrations. --This text refers

It took Ludwig
Bemelmans years to think of Madeline''s next adventure after the
1939 original Madeline, but he did it, and the result was
Madeline''s Rescue, winner of the 1954 Caldecott Medal. One day on a
walk through Paris a "twelve little girls in two straight lines"
kind of walk, Madeline slips and falls off a bridge right into the
Seine. Everyone feared she would be dead, "But for a dog That
kept its head," saving her from a "watery grave." What choice do
Madeline and the girls have but to take the heroic pooch home, feed
her biscuits, milk, and beef, and name her Genevieve? Sadly, when
Lord Cucuface gets wind of the new dog, he decrees that no dogs
will be allowed in the "old house in Paris that was covered with
vines," and kicks Genevieve out on the street. Madeline vows
vengeance, and the girls scour Paris looking for the pup: "They
went looking high and low And every place a dog might go. In
every place they called her name But no one answered to the
same." As we''ve come to expect from Bemelmans, all''s well that ends
well chez Clavel, and young readers will be tickled by this
heartwarming, quirky dog story with a surprise finale. Ages 4 to
8 --Karin Snelson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
