Summary:
Madeline: "In an old house in Paris all covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines..." Thus begins this adaptation of the classic 1930's children's book about Madeline, the smallest and bravest of the twelve little girls. Madeline's rescue: As we know well by now, no one knows better "how to frighten Miss Clavel" than Madeline. But this time, in the process of clowning around, she almost dies except for the intercession of a very charming dog. Madeline and the Bad Hat: The Spanish Ambassador has moved next door, and Madeline knows right away that his son, Pepito, is bad news. He's mean to animals! Then one day Pepito goes too far--will a run-in with an angry cat be enough to reform this bad hat? Madeline and the gypsies: One day, Pepito invites Madeline and the girls to a Gypsy carnival. What joy until there is a rainstorm and everyone must be quickly shepherded home. Madeline in London: "Not a single eye was dry" the day the Spanish Ambassador moved to London, taking Madeline's dear friend Pepito with him. Once in London, Pepito, who sorely missed those "little girls next door" went from bad to worse.
