4.0 out of 5 stars
great stocking stuffers/goody bag fillers, August 1, 2000
This review is from: Little Chinese Girl Paper Doll (Dover Little Activity Books) (Paperback)
These pocket sticker books are excellent stocking stuffers or goody bag treats. The stickers are used to "dress" the doll and then stored on the inside front or back cover. They are resusable for a time (until all of the glue is stuck on little fingers). At 80 or so cents, they are cheaper than a lot of package stickers and more interesting, although a little stereotypical. Kids love them. There is no story line to the books, only stickers and background.

This is a paper doll book - not stickers, September 2, 2007
This review is from: Little Chinese Girl Paper Doll (Dover Little Activity Books) (Paperback)
I ordered this because I thought this was a sticker book as stated by the one woman who has 2 of the same reviews on this item. But this book is not a sticker book but a paper doll book. The draws of the outfits are beautifully detailed and would be great for a Lifebook page on China or traditions because of the Chinese outfits. The paper doll is named ChenChen is on the back cover of a thin page. The outfits are printed on a very thin sheet of paper.
I really don't think a child would be able to cut these paper outfits out because there is a lot of detail, so this is definately an adult only cutting the outfits and I could see adults getting frustrated cutting.
Here are the outfits:
Traditional day dress w/ parasol
Cheongsam or Hong Kong Sheath dress w/ green fan & matching material hat
Peking Opera costume w/ hat and fancy fan
Work clothes
Straw raincoat & hat
Traditional Court Costume
Tibetan Bride's dress
Quilted cottom costume and butterfly kite ( you mostly see the butterfly kite)
I gave this book a 5 stars because of the illustrations, I'd give it a 3 stars for how hard it will be to cut the costumes for children and possibly the adults that will have to cut this for them. I am disappointed that this is not a sticker book like the review said, but it might have been a sticker book at one time... just not now.
