The Paper Dolls is a stunning, lyrical story of childhood, memory and the power of imagination from Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo , and award-winning illustrator Rebecca Cobb. A string of paper dolls go on a fantastical adventure through the house and out into the garden. They soon escape the clutches of the toy dinosaur and the snapping jaws of the oven-glove crocodile, but then a very real pair of scissors threatens . . . The Paper Dolls is a beautiful and evocative story from Julia Donaldson and Rebecca Cobb, the bestselling creators of The Everywhere Bear. Review: So sweet. - This is such a sweet story. My daughter loved it! She's 3. She now wants to make paper dolls. The product picture is a little confusing as it looks like it should come with a CD or dis of some kind. We did not receive a CD. However, we love the story and illustrations. Review: Great Book for little girls! - Love love love love LOVE this book! My daughter received it as a gift and l thought it was so adorable that I bought it for my nieces. They love it too! A great book for little girls (and it made me shed a tear or two.)

So sweet.
This is such a sweet story. My daughter loved it! She's 3. She now wants to make paper dolls. The product picture is a little confusing as it looks like it should come with a CD or dis of some kind. We did not receive a CD. However, we love the story and illustrations.

I am saving this for Christmas for my granddaughter, as an introduction to cutting out paper dolls. I think the book would be a good way to start a lesson in a classroom about families, friends or the diversity we have in this country.

A must have for kids...and parents
I bought this book for 4yr old daughter, she loved it and so did I. It's a simple story, it repeats itself, so perfect for young ears, but it has a deeper message for adults and that pulled at my heart strings. It's unassuming, but one of those books that will make appearances at the right times.

Dolce storia dai +3
Il libro è arrivato nei tempi indicati in buone condizioni. Il libro è abbastanza grande, il che rende davvero piacevole guardare le immagini coi bambini. La storia è un pò lunga per dei bimbi età Nido, sui 3 anni è più indicato. Si tratta di una storia lunga 1/2 frasi per circa 15 pagine. Alla fine si parla del "giardino della memoria" dove vivono tutte le cose belle che abbiamo visto o che si sono perdute (i fuochi d'artificio, la nonna, le spille, e tante altre cose). L'inglese è semplice e facilmente comprensibile/traducibile. Lo consiglio!
