[ 책 소개 ]

"Madeline"과 "Madeline's Rescue"로 두차례에 걸쳐 Caldecott상을 받은 Madeline시리즈의 최신판입니다. 마들린느 시리즈의 원저자인 Ludwig Bemelmans의 손자인 John Bemelmans Marciano가 오리지널 캐릭터의 특성과 그림풍을 그대로 살려서 만들었습니다. 이 책에서는 미국 백악관에서 외롭게 사는 대통령의 와동딸 캔들이 이스터 파티에 마들린느와 친구들을 초대해서 벌어지는 재미있는 일들을 유머러스하게 보여줍니다. 백악관에서 재미있는 게임도 하고, 맛있는 음식도 먹었지만, 무엇보다도 즐거웠던 일은 백악관의 규칙을 몰래 어기면서 캔들과 마들린느가 밤에도 함께 놀고 같은 침대에서 함께 자면서 절친한 친구가 되었다는 것이죠...

큰 사이즈의 책입니다.

Book Description
Bestselling and beloved Madeline visits the Oval Office, just in time for the presidential election season.
Readers will see Washington, D.C., as never before, when Madeline takes a midnight sightseeing tour on a magic carpet of cherry blossoms. Invited to the White House by Candle, the president's lonely only daughter, for the annual Easter Egg hunt and roll, Madeline and the other little girls have a rollicking good time, and introduce Candle to the joys of occasionally breaking the rules. With a bouncy read-aloud text and gorgeous watercolor pictures, Madeline at the White House is in the best tradition of the beloved Madeline books.


Booklist
First Daughter Candle (whose unruly mop curls up like a flame) is feeling ignored by her busy parents, so Mom arranges for an Easter weekend visit from Madeline and her friends. The girls enjoy rolling eggs, overeating, and sleepover activities, capped off by a magical ride on cherry blossoms to view D.C. landmarks, courtesy of a magician first seen in Madeline’s Christmas (1985), now transformed into a rabbit. Based on an idea Bemelmans was working on at the time of his 1962 death, grandson Marciano has done a credible job copying the rhythms and artistic style of the originals.


Children's Literature
"Kids will get a big kick out of seeing familiar buildings--the Lincoln Memorial, Capitol and Washington Monument--from the perspective of these two lively girls."


Kirkus Reviews
"Marciano closes with a note linking this spinoff to his grandfather's unfinished work . . . This homage offers a reasonably seamless continuation of the classic series"
