Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans; 1967. Hardcover (Ch-PIC)

In an old house in Paris

that was covered with vines

lived twelve little girls

in two straight lines

the smallest one was Madeline.” Nothing frightens Madeline—not tigers, not even mice. With its endearing, courageous heroine, cheerful humor, and wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris, the Madeline stories are true classics that continue to charm readers even after 75 years!
