Celebrate Madeline's 70th Anniversary with Kids Preferred Exclusive Dolls and Plushes {Here Comes Santa Giveaway}
Friday, November 27, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the release of Ludwig Bemelmans' beloved children's story, Madeline. Talk about a classic and childhood favorite! Madeline, a little French girl in a signature blue coat made her debut in a 1939 storybook. Her spunk, wit, and compassion quickly won over boys and girls around the world and the rest as they say--is history. Kids Preferred, a leading plush manufacturer is celebrating this milestone anniversary with plush Madeline and Genevieve dolls that you don't want to miss!
Kids Preferred created a line of three plushes exclusively for Toys R Us--Madeline in PJs, Madeline & Genevieve Beanie, and the Soft Talking Madeline Doll. Kids Preferred sent me the Soft Talking Madeline for me to review. Right out of the box, this Madeline doll impressed me. She is tall, pretty, and so soft--you just want to hug her.
Of course, Madeline is bilingual--speaking four phrases in both French and English when you press her hands.
Kids Preferred also sent me the book that started it all--Original Madeline in hardcover.
This is the original 1939 Madeline story book--with an old house in Paris that was covered in vines, lived 12 little girls in two straight lines! Of course, little Madeline is the spunkiest of all the girls and is always getting into some new adventure! I can't imagine a young girl who wouldn't LOVE to receive a Madeline doll and book for the holidays. Not only will she love it now, but it is a gift that will be treasured throughout the years!
Want It: The Soft Talking Madeline is on sale right now at Toys R Us for $12.48! Other Madeline plushes and books are also available through specialty retailers.
