The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls (Klutz) [Spiral-bound]

Julie Collings (Editor)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Series: Klutz

A classic pastime updated for a new generation. These paper people wear their clothes with the help of reusable, press-on, peel-off adhesive dots — no tabs! And no scissors either — the dolls, clothes and accessories are perforated, ready to pop right out and play. Six reversible paper dolls in a variety of skin colors come with the book, along with three paper babies and a few paper pets. Bunches of reversible clothes, shoes and hairstyles work in combination to make exactly one jillion different outfits. (We counted.) Also includes six beautifully illustrated backdrops and a handy portfolio storage pocket.

Comes With: double-sided, removable adhesive dots, 34 die-cut pages of dolls and clothes

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls by Julie Collings comes with six paper dolls (with an array of skin tones), a massive mix-'n'-match wardrobe and accessories. The spiral-bound book also contains backdrop scenes for the dolls and a pull-out armoire to tuck away the natty duds. Hairstyles are interchangeable; a guide to drawing faces is included, too. The clothes stay on with "reusable glue dots" instead of old-fashioned tabs and the clothes are printed on both sides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for younger girls (4-6), March 31, 2002

This book was really great for my five year old daughter, all of the dolls and clothes are perforated and she was able to take all of the dolls and clothes from the pages herself. Instead of paper tabs over the shoulders, these dolls come with an entire page of double sided stickers which hide behind the clothes worn by the doll, keeping their clothes on better than any doll with tabs I had as a child. It makes a great portable toy, as everything gets tucked up and folded into the book when done, its relatively small, fitting into a backpack nicely or the storage compartment of a vehicle.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Magnificent..., June 7, 2004

This review is from: The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls (Klutz) (Spiral-bound)

These dolls are great, to be put simply. They appeal to both boys and girls, children and adults. The clothes are easy to arrange on the doll; unlike regular paper dolls, there aren't any tabs to worry about ripping off. ^_^ You get twice the wardrobe in the same amount of space, as the clothes reverse to allow for a whole new selection. You aren't stuck with one hairstyle, one skin color, one face. But I think the best thing about these particular dolls, would be the fact the patterns for the clothes are simple. Therefore, if you somehow manage to get bored with the large wardrobe, you can simple trace a few pieces out and make your own clothes.

Paper dolls with and without faces for you to put the expression on. Clothes that change colors when you turn them over. Little dog, cat, toys, bags, towel, pillows. Turn them over and they are different colors and designs. The clothes are basic enough to add your own decorations, glitter, buttons, etc or not depending how you feel. Inside are scenes from the beach and snow. A birthday party, and stage, more. Wait, I can't forget the baby paperdolls and their clothes. Turn them over for more. No tabs, no cutting out. Thats nice, but I don't know yet if I like the double stick post it dots. I'm an adult with grown children, but I love playing with these.
