LatestWhen Madeline and the girls find some collectibles from the 1800's in the attic of the Old House, they decide to set up a booth at The Flea Market and unwittingly sell Pepito's father's Ambassador ring (which Madeline tracks down using her detective skills).
A young girl embarks on a series of misadventures, causing her friends and teachers to be worrisome. Based on the children's books by Ludwig Bemelmans.

Andrea Libman's voice work makes Madeline impossibly endearing.

Writing
Rhyming narration that slaps harder than it should.
Creator
Ludwig Bemelmans
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The theme song was performed by the same studio musicians who backed Barney & Friends, explaining its unshakeable earworm quality.
This adaptation softened Bemelmans' original books considerably — the 1939 source material featured actual Nazis and Madeline getting appendicitis with zero anesthesia.
