The inside Cover Reads:

Madeline needs no introduction. The story about Miss Clavel's twelve little girls in Paris is a childhood classic.
"mr. Bemelmans' drawings of the Opera, of Notre Dame in the rain, of the sun shining on birds and children in the Luxembourg and Tuileries gardens have put an authentic Paris within the covers of this book. The rhymes in which the tale is told make it one that children will enjoy repeating."
--The New York Times
