Madeline at the White House by John Bemelmans Marciano

Madeline at the White House (Madeline)

by John Bemelmans Marciano

Bestselling and beloved Madeline visits the Oval Office!

Readers will see Washington, D.C., as never before, when Madeline takes a midnight sightseeing tour on a magic carpet of cherry blossoms. Invited to the White House by Candle, the president's lonely only daughter, for the annual Easter Egg hunt and roll, Madeline and the other little girls have a rollicking good time, and introduce Candle to the joys of occasionally breaking the rules. With a bouncy read-aloud text and gorgeous watercolor pictures, Madeline at the White House is in the best tradition of the beloved Madeline books.

I read this as a digital eGalley and thus had to make myself consider it as a board book. As it was digital, I cannot comment on the size or quality. I think it would make an excellent little book to share with little ones I wouldn't hesitate to add it to our shelves. Our Madeline books reside in a hardcover Mad About Madeline and a Barnes & Noble Leatherbound of the same. I enjoy Madeline and I'm always impressed with the character of a classic children's book that becomes an element on its own. Continued by the family long after the original author is gone is precious and telling on its own. I feel that Madeline's legacy is continued well in this one.

I read this as a digital eGalley via Edelweiss.
