Madeline and the gypsies (udgave 1959)

Cute book. ( )

Cute, cute, cute. Also sad under the childhood dreams ( )

Madeline gets lost on top of the ferris whell with the Ambassador's son and they are rescued by a Gypsy lady who takes them into her troupe. ( )

Madeline and the Gypsies is about two girls Madeline and Pepito who are forgotten by Miss Clavel on the ferris wheel. The Gypsy Mama takes them in and shows them all there is to see behind the scenes of a gypsy carnival. I love the rhyming in this story and how the girls go on an adventure beyond their wildest dreams. ( )

This book is about a girl named Madeline who goes onto a trip with her school to a circus. There she and her friend get lost and the class left without them. A gypsy then takes them in and does not want to let them go home. She sews them up into a lion costume so that they cannot ask for help. The class then comes back for them and discovers them trapped in the costume. They are then rescued and brought home. I found this adventure book to be entertaining. It also teaches children to not trust strangers. ( )
