Pepito's table manners perturb his ambassador father to the point that his father threatens to ban him from a banquet honoring a soccer star unless they improve. Madeline and chums invite him to tea, but their own decorum is lacking, so it's off to etiquette school for the lot. They learn to cover their mouths when they sneeze and to resist playing with their food, but the arrival of cousin Pablito threatens to derail all progress. In the second episode, "Madeline and the Show Off," the theme continues when schoolmate Yvette is chosen to sit for a famous painter. Her ego looms large while the rest of the girls struggle with perceptions of who's better than whom. Miss Clavel dispenses wisdom ("Each girl is beautiful in her own way.") and the Picasso-esque rendering of young Yvette effectively serves as her comeuppance. Purists may quibble with anachronisms such as the soccer player's apology for a spitting incident or the multiracial faces at the long table in Madeline's boarding school, but these updates will resonate with today's kids. (Ages 2 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Description

In "Madeline Manners," two of Madeline's friends learn some important lessons about etiquette and showing off. First, Peptito's cousin Pablito tries to convince him that manners are uncool after he graduates from etiquette school with Madeline and the girls. Fortunately, Madeline helps Peptito see how important manners are during an event for famed soccer player Pepe Pelota. When Madeline's friend Yvette brags to the other girls and begins to act superior after she is asked to pose for a famous artist, she learns that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder and everyone is special in their own unique way and that manners do matter!

Customer Reviews:

Excellent video!.......2002-02-08

This is an excellent video depicting the lessons that kids learn as they are growing up. Both the epsidoes and their songs are educational and inspire us to do what is right and to believe in ourselves. The first episode, "Madeline's Manners", shows us how good manners are the only way to survive in a mixed-up world like this, and the second, "Madeline and the Show-Off", tell us that we are all special in our own way. Madeline is not a nasty girl; she is a nice girl who sets a good example for today's kids by learning the ropes herself.
