Madame Martine - Hardcover
Madame Martine lives in Paris and follows the same routine every day. She takes for granted the beautiful things that exist all around her. She refuses to go to the Eiffel Tower because it's "just for tourists." One day Madame Martine finds a stray dog and decides to take him home. When she tries keeping her dog on the same schedule, he breaks free, leading Madame Martine on a wild chase up the Eiffel Tower! Upon reaching the top, she discovers how much beauty she has been missing all these years. From then on, the two friends try something different every week.

From School Library Journal:
PreS-Gr 2—Madame Martine, who lives in Paris, is very set in her ways. She eats specific meals on specific days, and she's quite sure that climbing the Eiffel Tower is a waste of time. But when she adopts a stray dog who scampers up the steps of the landmark, what can she do but follow? After experiencing the allures of a Parisian evening viewed from on high, Madame Martine is amenable to varying her routine a bit in the future. This is a pleasant, if not especially inventive theme for a picture book. Brannen's plump-figured watercolors are also appealing, but she has attempted daring, vertiginous renderings of the headlong dash up the tower that seem a bit beyond her ability to give them authenticity, and the spreads of Paris lack much detail—a lost opportunity that reinforces the blandness of the plot.—Miriam Lang Budin, Chappaqua Library, NY
