Her great-grandpapa, in bad health, Had left her all his earthly wealth. To Dallas Madeline would be sent For the reading of the last will and testament."
Children and adults who are accustomed to seeing Madeline in her school uniform will be delighted to watch Madeline and her band of 11 adorn ten-gallon hats, shop in the world greatest store and ride horseback. Meet the lawyer named Crockett; visit the landmarks of Texas, and for the first time learn Madeline's last name.
Illustrated in color by John Bemelmans Marciano from Ludwig Bemelmans' pencil sketches; John Bemelmans Marciano found Ludwig Bemelman's manuscript and pencil sketch for Madeline In Texas in his grandfather's files.

All dividends of this stock will be placed in a special Maadeline college scholarship fund..." To see the book http://www.pecantreebooks.com/children67.html.
