Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show

Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show is an educational game for children aged five and up. It is based on the 1999 Madeline book by Ludwig Bemelmans, which also spawned a media franchise and a US TV series. The game was released to coincide with the premiere of the animated TV series The New Adventures of Madeline. Madeline's neighbor, who takes care of animals, is about to lose her home, but staging a puppet show could bring in the money needed so he can pay the rent to keep living there with his animals. Madeline and various kids journey through Paris in the neighborhood of her boarding school with different learning activities presented as mini-games and collecting items such as curtains, a cape, a chain, bread, gumballs, a balloon and puppets for the show along the way.
