I advocate for it all the time! But this book was weird.....just weird. ( ) When Madame Badobedah arrives at the Mermaid Hotel, where Mabel lives, Mabel vows to keep an eye on the old lady she decides must be a supervillain - but instead, the two become friends, inhabiting a pretend world. Hints of Madame Badobedah's former life seep through. Longer and more text-heavy than most picture books, but the light watercolor illustrations balance the text. A lovely, unique book for the patient listener. * Re-read November 2023. See also: The Apartment House on Poppy Hill by Nina LaCour) Delightful, quirky adventures between a precocious single child and an elder woman who comes to stay at her bed & breakfast. I love stories that celebrate intergenerational friendship, especially since I had many dear elder friends as a child, and still do. Lovely watercolors and longer prose than normal in a picture book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Who is Madame Badobedah? Mabel sets out to prove that an eccentric new hotel guest is really a supervillain in this witty storybook about an intergenerational friendship. There's a strange new guest at the Mermaid Hotel -- a very old lady with a growly voice, bags stuffed with jewelry and coins and curiosities, and a beady-eyed pet tortoise. Mabel, whose parents run the hotel, is suspicious. Who is this Madame Badobedah (it rhymes with Oo la la ) who has come to stay indefinitely and never has any visitors? To find out, Mabel puts on her spy costume and observes the new guest. Conclusion? She must be a secret supervillain hiding out from the law. The grown-ups think Madame Badobedah is a bit rude -- and sad -- but when she invites dahlink Mabel for a cup of forbidden tea and a game of pirates, the two begin a series of imaginary adventures together, and Mabel realizes that first impressions can sometimes be very wrong. Conjuring two quirky heroines that young readers will love, Sophie Dahl adds her talented voice to a grand tradition of books that celebrate the alliance of the old and young in the face of humdrum adults, while Lauren O'Hara's illustrations are as packed with intriguing details as Madame Badobedah's suitcases.
