Description: Madeline’s Rescue by Ludwig Bemelmans follows the adventurous Madeline, who falls into the Seine and is saved by a brave stray dog, Genevieve. The girls and Miss Clavel adopt Genevieve, but trouble arises when their landlord, Lord Cucuface, banishes her. The girls search Paris and are overjoyed when Genevieve returns—soon giving birth to puppies, ending their quarrels. The book’s charming illustrations earned it the 1954 Caldecott Medal.
