Annotated Bibliography #42

Madeline's Rescue by Ludwig Bemelmans

Such a sweet book! Madeline is the smallest girl in her school of twelve girls who do everything in two lines. One day, Madeline falls from a bridge, and is saved from drowning by a dog. The girls take the dog, who is very smart, back to school with them. They love her and argue about who gets to sleep with her. The dog, Genevieve, is booted out when the annual inspection comes around, and the school girls are heartbroken. They search for her, and their search is ultimately rewarded in a most unsuspecting way.
