Madeline and the Magic Carpet

Madeline´s teddy bears Buddy and Sunny crochet a magic carpet one night, which the trio uses to go on an adventure. The trip takes them all the way to Africa, where they meet a giraffe, an elephant and a lion. There is also a little boy named Bobo in Africa, whom Madeline meets in a small village. There they sing, dance and eat tasty vegetable soup. The story fuels children's imagination, because in a fairy tale everything is possible. The carpet flies and the teddy bears and animals can talk. Milla-Malle and the teddy bears experience different emotions during the journey: courage, curiosity, closeness and homesickness. There are also exciting moments when the carpet gets caught in a thunderstorm, but they survive. Humor accompanies the narration of the story. Sirpa Pääkkönen is a Finnish journalist and non-fiction writer who has written about working life in Finland, Karelia and South Ostrobothnia in her non-fiction books. Thanks to Tony Shaw for checking the English version of the fairy tale.
