Barbie Friends, Aug 15 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Barbie.com: The First Adventure (Paperback)
Our family loves this book. The sentences are nicely written to encourage reading skills and stories are for and about little girls who love Barbie to encourage finishing the challenge of reading the whole book. Amy and Michelle are good friends to each other, and as I have found with any Barbie story, Barbie is a good role model: fun, wholesome, encouraging... The main story line is two best friends who are going to be in different classes at school the next year. They are feeling sad, so to cheer themselves up they visit Barbie.com, when they do that they are invited to take a virtual tour or a real tour if Barbie's Home. They accept and find themselves right with Barbie. They have a fun afternoon with visitng Barbie's horse and playing ball topped of by Strawberry smoothies in Barbie's kitchen. Barbie helps them understand that even if they are in different classes they can be friends by relating her own experience when Midge had moved away while they were in school. The girls go home and are much encouraged. All in all, it's a great story, and who wouldn't want to visit Barbie?

Book encourages meeting strangers through the Internet, Dec 13 2004
By A concerned father - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Barbie.com: The First Adventure (Paperback)
My daughter loves Barbie, and I have no issue with that. I did have a huge problem with the fact that the book portrays two young girls travelling to someone's house that they met through the internet, without their parents' knowledge. I find this to be irresponsible of an author of children's books in today's society.
