Summary: The first time Kate encountered Madeline, she did not care for her. But what if she encountered yet ANOTHER Madeline title? Would she like it better? Before selecting this week's book, Betsy hadn't remembered that there is significantly less Madeline inside of it. Will that help or hurt the book's chances of becoming a classic? Betsy and Kate spend an inordinate amount of time saying "Lord Cucuface", discuss "the happiness of a father of a husband", and tackle why the ending of this book bugs Betsy in the same way that the ending of the movie of The Wizard of Oz does. Show Notes: If you missed it before, here is Betsy's interview with Ludwig Bemelmans' daughter Barbara: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2020/10/13/sunshine-on-my-bookshelf-makes-me-happy-a-classic-returns-and-an-interview-with-barbara-bemelmans/ For the full Show Notes please visit: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2020/11/02/fuse-8-n-kate-madelines-rescue-by-ludwig-bemelmans/
