Madeline at the White House

32 pp. | Viking | January, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-670-01228-2 $17.99
(4) K-3 Madeline and her classmates visit the president's lonely daughter and get a tour of Washington, D.C., as a bonus. The story's logic is a stretch; the appearance of "Madeline's magician" disguised as a rabbit obscures the plot even more. Still, mention of the White House Easter Egg Roll and paintings of the national monuments give the book some appeal.
