Madeline and the Bad Hat (1959)

Nothing frightens Madeline-- not tigers, not even mice-- but how about troublesome young ambassadors? Can she and Pepito ever get along? With its endearing, courageous heroine, cheerful humor, and wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris, the Madeline stories are true classics that continue to charm readers even after 75 years. In this next adventure, Madeline has a new neighbor who she does not like so much.
