Madlenka

(1) K-3 In her urban microcosm, Madlenka walks around the block to share news of her loose tooth. She's greeted by a French baker, an Indian news vendor, and a Latin American greengrocer, among others. Luscious with visual imagery, the imaginative book has much for small children to enjoy now and plenty to appreciate more fully later. Sís has woven an intriguing adventure within the compass of a small child's own world.
