5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent read aloud book for the classroom!, March 27, 2000
This review is from: Secrets from the Dollhouse (Hardcover)
As a fourth grade teacher, I have found this book to be an excellent assest to my classroom library. Strong settting and character development allows this story to be a valuable tool in teaching the basics parts of a good story. My students and I read it over and over!

Somewhat disappointing, October 1, 2001
This review is from: Secrets from the Dollhouse (Hardcover)
I bought this book without taking a good look at the illustrations. I wish I'd peered closer. As a fan of antique wooden dolls, I was excited to find a children's story that features wooden dollhouse dolls. However, the illustrations are generic, so that they could be plastic dolls or china dolls and the reader would never tell the difference. I prefer the realism given to "the Doll's House" by Rumer Godden, where the wooden doll *looks* like a wooden doll. This has cute poetry, but I would have prefered more realism in the illustrations.
