Madeline has always been one of my favorite books. I was so excited to read it to my girls for the first time when they were tiny. Since then, we’ve read them non stop over the years and last year made a special visit to Bemelman’s Bar in New York City for the Madeline Tea. This Halloween, Alex chose to… Read More
