I debated between 3 and 4 stars, but went with 4 for two reasons. First, it is super cheap, and works great as a filler. Second, because the book uses stickers, there is nothing to cut out and the little ones can use it without adult help. The book is cute, and should be fun for my daughter and her friends. It will likely on last for three or four uses, but for the price that is fine.

This tiny book is a nice bargain "tuck-in" item. The clothes stick to the paper doll inside back cover. They can be removed and used over. The little 5 yr. old ballerina who received it immediately started playing with it. A good sign of approval.

I love this paper doll book. Out of the four of these kind of paper dolls I've had, this one is my FAVORITE! The doll's name is Clara. She has beautiful clothes. There are seven outfits; they are fancy and have lots of ruffles. My favorite outfit is the Chinese dancer's. If you like ruffles and lace and fancy things and if you like paperdolls, you will like this.

My 4-year-old enjoys spending a little bit of time dressing the "doll" (it is actually just a page in the book) up, but loses interest fairly quickly. For the money, though (I paid about $1.50), this is a fun activity. Also, it is a small book, so it travels well. Just don't expect anything too spectacular.

The "Nutcracker Sticker Paper Doll" is a fabulous little book by Dover. It contains one full color paper doll on the inside back cover.

The re-usable sticker outfits are:

Clara and the Nutcracker with dress, wand and hair bow; Sugarplum Fairy with dress, crown, and ballet shoes, Chinese Dancer with dress, lantern and hair; Columbine with dress and hair; Clara in the Kingdom of Sweets with dress, shoes, bow, crown, and two different hair options; Waltz of the Flowers with dress and hair; and Chocolate the Spanish Dancer with dress, hair and fan.

The artwork by Marty Noble is lovely. It should please any little girl, and especially any ballet or Nutcracker fan. This book was purchased for my 9 year-old granddaughter for Christmas. This year she will be one of the "Party Girls" in the Nutcracker.

Amazon carries a number of Dover Nutcracker items. Several of these qualify for the 4 (items) for (the price of) 3 deal.
