Something is not right with Madeline & one night she wakes up with such a terrible pain. It’s her appendix, so she goes to hospital to have it taken out. When her friends visit, & see all her presents, & her scar, they want their appendixes out too.
Thick strands of orange marmalade hair escape from beneath her hat. Can you feel them? Now explore her coat. It covers up most of her body. It is lovely and thick to keep Madeline warm. How many buttons are there down the front? And can you feel a collar at her neck? That'll stop the cold wind getting in. And can you find her little hands? We can't trace each finger but we can find her thumb. And have you come across two cold, bare legs with clean white ankle socks and small black shoes?
