5.0 out of 5 stars A great book. I recommend getting the audio tape as well., March 15, 1999

By A Customer

I grew up listening to Really Rosie (by Carol King) and following along in this book. I'm 32 now and still like to sing the songs with my family, when we get together. It's a great way to get children interested in creating highly imaginative situations and promotes group entertainment among a diverse age range.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Really Rosie...And I'm Rosie Real..., November 2, 2000

By	Jessica S. Spiegel (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Really Rosie was, without a doubt, my favorite character growing up. I knew all the songs, and wore out the record. I finally bought another copy two years ago when I was hunting for the perfect gift for a friend's 5-year-old daughter, and I still knew all the words! This spunky heroine is a great example for any shy young girl - she's imaginative, creative, confident and a leader. And don't we need more of that nowadays from young women!
