Book Review
Madeline
and the Cats of Rome
 |
by John
Bemelmans Marciano
|
The Paris skies are gray, so Miss Clavel and the twelve little
girls are leaving for brighter weather— spring in Rome.
Rome has wonderful sights to see and delicious things to
eat, but Madeline also finds an unexpected adventure,
involving a thief, a chase, and many, many cats. The
first all-new Madeline book in close to fifty years
combines a lively story with luminous gouache and
watercolor illustrations. The charm and energy of the
illustrations in the Madeline books never fails to
disappoint. Beloved Madeline returns, as brave and
irrepressible as ever!
The author, John Bemelmans Marciano is the grandson of
Ludwig Bemelmans, author of the original Madeline books.
He lives in Brooklyn, New York, and he has carried on
the tradition with a sure hand. While his images honor
the tone of his grandfather's marvelous works, they have
a light spirit about them which remains contemporary.
