Use Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans to strengthen your students' comprehension skills, build their vocabulary, and help them understand how words work.

First published in 1939, Ludwig Bemelmans' Madeline has endured the test of time. Its heroine teaches readers what it means to be fearless. Of all the girls in the orphanage, Madeline is the smallest and the bravest. No tiger, mouse, or trip to the hospital scares her. To Madeline, everything is an adventure! The cadence and rhyming text structure of this book will entertain students as they work to make inferences about characters, use the beautiful illustrations to support visualizing, and look for the text structures Bemelman used to create this classic example of award-winning children's literature.
