Synopsis
Ludwig Bemelmans' classic children's book comes to life in this tale of a mischievous orphan girl and the wise nun who looks after her and her classmates. Narrator Gladys Holland reads the charming verse of "an old house in Paris that was covered with vines" and "twelve little girls in two straight lines." Led by Miss Clavel, the girls tour Paris during a field trip. The smallest and most outspoken child, Madeline, gets sick overnight, and Dr. Cohn makes a house call. The other girls visit Madeline in her gift-filled hospital room, and there's a surprise ending (unless you know the book!).
