"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines,"
lives plucky Madeline with eleven other girls under the
care of the kind Miss Clavel. Madeline wakes up in the
night with appendicitis and is rushed off to the hospital.
The other girls visit Madeline after the operation, and see
her gifts, her candy, and above all, her scar. That night
they all cry, "Boohoo, we want to have our appendix out
too!" Bemelman's drawings of Paris bring the charm of the
city to young readers.

Ages 5 to 8.

Part of the Madeline series.  A Caldecott Honor book.
