Are you mad about Madeline? This delightful edition folds out into a three-dimensional, five-pointed carousel with five panels that reveal selected scenes from the book based on Ludwig Bemelmans's illustrations and presented diorama-style. Our favorite panel depicts Madeline standing on top of her bed showing her scar to 11 somber little girls, as Miss Clavel smiles in the background. The complete text of the original 1939 Madeline folds out like an accordion on the flip side of the panels. We can't resist this excellently engineered pop-up Parisian carousel, and we can almost guarantee squeals of delight from young Madeline fans. (Ages 4 and older) --Karin Snelson
