I was looking over
Josefina and came across her book. This book has everything that we
loved about Pleasant Company. The historical references are amazing and
the bibliography or cite page offers readers so much information for
research.
There
is even a section that shows the doll they may have used for the Nina
doll replica. Such a great source if you missed out on the older books
with the illustrations.

I have got to find a copy if this.
ReplyDeleteThese books were great. I wish American Girl would bring these type of books back. Children can learn so much from them in a fun way.
ReplyDeleteI used to get these books from the library all the the time! (I think I have Samantha's unopened book somewhere.) The doll they showed in Felicity's book scarred me for life: they kept their dolls in coffins. Maureen
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way as you all do. It would be nice to see more of these books. Especially since the new character books omitted illustrations or historical pictures from that era. It's the little details that make all the difference.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful books, the kind you can just browse through and learn something! I have found several on line as "used books" but in new condition.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. Outstanding treasure!
