Madeline in America and Other Holiday Tales

(4) K-3 Bemelmans's artist grandson completes the manuscript and sketches for "Madeline in America." Thoroughly American and almost kitschy (Madeline et al. travel to Texas--and Neiman Marcus), the story seems forced and, while entertaining, less appealing than its predecessors. Two other holiday stories, as well as Bemelmans's daughter's Christmas memories, round out a collection with appeal to Madeline fans.
