Madeline's Rescue is a fun book for lovers of Madeline. This story is about a dog who rescues Madeline when she falls into the water. The dog stays at the boarding school with all the girls and they fight over who it gets to sleep with. When people come for the school's inspection they find the dog and send it away. The girls are all sad and decide to go look for it. They finally find the dog and continue to fight over it. The dog has puppies one night and now there is enough for everyone.
This book is better for girls rather then boys. I can see boys who might enjoy it, but all of the characters in the book are female. The story is simple and would be good for children in Kindergarten to 2nd grade. If the child is a dog lover, they will definitely enjoy this book. It brings a love of animals along with a series book with common characters. Children will enjoy reading Madelines Rescue if they are familiar with other Madeline books.
The pictures in the book use many of the same colors like yellows, and oranges. It makes the pages really pop out. I would have liked if they used more colors, but I liked the common theme of using a certain color palate. This book was not my favorite, but it is a book I think young girls who like Madeline will enjoy. It is a simple story with heart.
