wonderful complex characters,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Doll's House (Paperback)
Quite affecting. A very rich story of the "family-dynamics" in an antique doll-house. Perhaps best read to the younger child (under 10). There are some very complex emotions at play. My 7 year old burst into tears at Birdie's "sacrifice". Still it's important for young readers to experience a full range of emotions when reading, espcecially as they move into chapter books

Memorable and Classic,
By Julie Schultz (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doll's House (School & Library Binding)
Although I read this book for the first time when I was seven, it has stayed with me as one of my favorites. Reading it again as an adult adds a new layer of depth to the plot that so enthralled me in second grade. It is not just a story about dolls.

I love Rumer Godden's writing about dolls.,
By M_Girl (Somewhere in Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Doll's House (Paperback)
I am a doll lover and love reading about dolls. I know I can always rely on a Rumer Godden book to give me a good story about our little friends. I was pleased with this one, her first, actually, and I was lucky to get it at a great price at a secondhand shop. Score!
