An amazing book!

At first, it didn't look that good, but after I started to read it, it got really, really good. I think my Mom would like this book too. (By Katrina, age 8.)

great book

My daughter and I loved these books. I thought it was right up there with American Doll books. Great story and great historical/educational infomation.

doll hospital is great

I liked this book very very much . I didn't even know what a doll hospital is. Now I know that you can fix dolls there. I wish I could have all the stuff in the doll hospital like wigs eyeballs and hats and shoes for dolls and cats .

this book is so cool

If you like books with dolls and girls you will lik this one. I like the girls Rose and her sister in the book. Their doll tatiana is pretty and I lke her. ...

Great Doll Story with Historical Info

My daughter Emily and I enjoyed Doll Hospital together. The two interwoven plot lines worked well. One tells the modern-day tale of Rose and Lila who live with their grandmother and discover her doll hospital. The other is the story the doll that is being repaired in the doll hospital tells about her history and how she came to be damaged. It's funny, but has sad moments as well. We were both sorry when the book ended. Looking forward to more books in the series.
