review 1: The Madeline series has continued on thanks to Ludwig Bemelmans’ grandson, John Bemelmans Marciano, who keeps with the same style, look and spark that made us fall in love with Madeline in the first place.Madeline and Pepito are up to their usual adventures, this time to help a ghost who died trying to see a comet hundreds of years ago. To get the necessary telescope back, the pair dress up in costumes and surprise Lord Cucuface in the middle of the night. He is so scared that he returns the telescope immediately. Madeline and Pepito, successful once again, gently row their boat down the Seine river back to the little house all covered with vines.This book is such a natural addition to the Madeline series and we warmly welcomed it, reading it many times just this ... moreweek.
review 2: In the tradition of the original Madeline books, this one seamlessly ties in with the others in writing style. The grandson of Ludwig Bemelmans has done a great job of continuing the Madeline legacy without losing Madeline's voice. This one introduces a ghostly new character. Although suspenseful, it's not too scary for young kids. I love the illustration of Madeline and Pepito rowing along the Seine under a starry sky. Madeline fans should be pleased with this one! less
