MADELINE'S ABCS

Come learn the ABC's with the bravest girl in the world, Madeline!

Ludwig Bemelmans's beloved character Madeline is back, and here to teach a new audience the alphabet. She'll use examples of each letter from the classic Madeline book, so readers will recognize both settings and characters as she guides the youngest readers through learning each of the letters.

Ludwig Bemelmans (1896-1963) was born in the Austrian Tyrol, coming to the United States in 1914. Although best known for his children's books, he also wrote fiction and nonfiction for adults on subjects he knew best: hotels, traveling, and Hollywood. He was a frequent contributor to magazines, including The New Yorker, Town & Country, and Holiday. Bemelmans was also a painter whose art was displayed in exhibitions around the world.
