Sticker Dolly Dressing Dancers Paperback – January 1, 2011

Update: Our daughter is now 9 yo and still loves receiving the latest Sticker Dolly Books!Old review: We've purchased ALL of the Sticker Dolly dressing books. Our daughter (age 5) loves these books and looks forward to receiving them on those special occasions. She's loved these books since the end of age 3, so they definitely hold their appeal.I'm happy that there are 'non-princess' sticker books available. The princess books are great, however, our girl is an athlete, dancer and into many other things and its nice to see broader representation and inspiration for girls. It's also nice to see a sticker book with boy characters.If your kid (boy or girl) likes fashion, the Usborne Sticker Dolly Dressing books are a win.

In my daughter's other two books, the stickers are very versatile. The dolls are in the same position on every page and the extra stickers can go lots of places. In this book each sticker can only really go one place, it takes a lot of the fun out of it and increases the difficulty, this book is better for readers so they can read where each sticker goes. My daughter did the other two by herself in kindergarten. Also in this book a lot of the shoe and accessory stickers are right and left sensitive which confused my sIx year old. The dresses are cool, fun doll names, if you plan to work on this with your little girl it will be a winner and educational!

This is the perfect gift for some quite fun. We purchase these books for our daughter so she can have something engaging to do during church. The stickers can be a bit intricate that may be harder for small hands to get just right, but good practice for fine motor skills.

I bought these as a car trip activity. The stickers were nice (not exactly reusable but maybe). Some of the pictures were a bit risque-- like belly dancing--really was that necessary. I know I am conservative. I wish we could make items for children that are always "safe" and not sexy. I also purchased the ballet stickers book and it was much sweeter. Each daughter got a different book--stick with the ballet!

My 5 year old granddaughter loves these books. I would definitely buy again.

My 3 and 7 year old kids love this sticker book series.

Bought this as a gift - she loved it!

My daughter just loves these Usborne sticker books! I think they are great, too.Highlights:1. Not commercial or based on TV characters, which is kind of a relief.2. The people in the scenes are usually wearing very modest underwear and the child goes to the sticker pages and chooses clothing to put on the people. (Lots of accessories, too.)3. Sticker pages tell you what scene the clothing is meant to go on.4. Educational value. Yes! The ballet book features famous ballets, not random scenes. The Around the World book takes you to different countries and lets you dress people of various cultures in their traditional outfits. The historical fashion one features specific eras in different countries.5. Diversity. Although there's lots of Western culture (USA/Europe) in these books, there is also some diversity. Not all the people are white, yay, and the places you visit include many non-Western countries and cultures.

These sticker books are really good and keep my 6 year old girl occupied for ages. We have to rip the sticker pages out as it gets a bit complicated matching the stickers to the right pages which are not necessarily in the right order. This therefore means helping them get set up but then away they go. I try remember to take one if we're going out for lunch or to meet friends in a coffee shop as it's a nice distraction for them and they can proudly show of the finished picture once they're done. I also enjoy helping choose the accessories for the dolls and it reminds me of the cut out clothes and dolls I played with as a child. Usbourne do many different themes of this book. We've just bought another 5 and one of them is Christmas themed and makes a lovely stocking filler present. I also add them into birthday presents and they always go down well. I think Usbourne is very much approved and shows a sign of a certain quality too.

Having had other titles in this series of books, I was a little disappointed with this particular one. The costumes for the dancers were lovely, but there wasn't much in the way of background stickers so once the dolls were dressed, that was it - leaving no chance for individual creativity.

My daughter loves all "Sticker dolly dressing" books from Usborne. This one is specially good, as she can see people dressed from around the world, so I used it also to teach her about other cultures, dances, etc. Great fun!

This is the 3rd sticker book of it's type my daughter (age 5) has received and she absolutely loves them. Some of the stickers can be a bit tricky to pull out as they are quite intricate but with a little adult help this is no problem. Quite educational too learing about the different dancers from around the world. She's planning on which sticker book to ask for a birthday present now.

Another successful sticker book to add to the stock of books used when my grand daughter comes to stay. As before I would like to see more story lines attached to the stickers.
