Madeline and the Cats of Rome

The Paris skies are gray, so Miss Clavel and the twelve little girls are leaving for brighter weather—spring in Rome.

Rome has wonderful sights to see and delicious things to eat, but Madeline also finds an unexpected adventure, involving a thief, a chase, and many, many cats.

The first all-new Madeline book in close to fifty years combines a lively story with luminous gouache and watercolour illustrations. Beloved Madeline returns, as brave and irrepressible as ever!

Author John Bemelmans Marciano carries on the legacy begun by his grandfather, Ludwig Bemelmans, author and illustrator of the Madeline books, with stunning watercolour artwork and playful, energetic storytelling.
