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.
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!
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.
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!
