Madeline's Rescue

In a Parisian girls school, our perky, popular heroine charms her eleven classmates with funny pranks and youthful wit. But when Madeline needs her appendix out, it's she who needs charm and humor for a speedy recovery.

Snow! Santa! And holidays galore! From Ludwig Bemelmans' best-selling children's books comes little Madeline and her wintery adventures with her dog Genevieve, her loyal friends from Miss Clavel's class, and next-door neighbor Pepito! Includes: Madeline's Winter Vacation, Madeline and Santa, Madeline at the North Pole, Madeline's Holiday with Mr. Grump, and Madeline and the Ice Skates.

One day the Spanish Ambassador moves into the house next-door to Madeline's school. And he brings with him his son a BOY. Pepito, the Bad Hat, as Madeline calls him, is a boy with a capital "B". Sticks and stones are nothing compared to Pepito's antics. Despite all efforts by Madeline and crew to teach him to tame him, he follows each dastardly deed with another that's much worse, until... one day he goes too far, and with Madeline's help and anticipated friendship must learn his lesson.

"Poor Miss Clavel, how would she feel if she knew that on top of the ferris wheel, in weather that turned from bad to rotten, Pepito and Madeline had been forgotten?" Luckily, the Strong Man, the Clown and the elephant rescue Madeline and Pepito, and the adventurous pair join the gypsy circus!
