The Paper Dolls

Product Information

Well, the book is simply about a young girl with five paper dolls who then goes on an imaginary adventures with them - until a boy came along and cut the dolls into pieces. After a boy snips the dolls into little pieces, the dolls appear in the little girl’s memory along with other things.
