My four year old daughter loves it as a bedtime story. And it has led to any number of paper-doll chains in the house. And it is well written enough to be interesting to adults reading it as well.


What an adventure, what imagination!!   July 8, 1999

Five paper dolls begin their existence on a hot summer day with a child and her grandmother only to be taken on their first adventure with the wind. Each doll is finished at separate stops along the way, some taking on some scarely possibilities. I can see this book being used in a school setting as a read-aloud and then having the class make a chain of paper dolls, animals whatever and sending them onto their own adventures via pen pals, family members, friends with each location being recorded and eventually finding their way back home, even as the dolls in this story did. Simple things made fun by a great author, encouraging the imagination of others. Thanks.
