Book Overview

For more than half a century children have been captivated with the story of Mary and her dolls. Mary’s father was a sea captain who took long trips across the ocean, bringing back a doll from each journey. Soon Mary had six dolls and wished for a seventh one to become her "Sunday" doll. But Mary’s father said six dolls were enough for any girl, so she set off to visit the Dollmaker and, oh, was she in for a surprise! Now available in its original, full 46-page format. This description may be from another edition of this product.

A favorite childhood picture book

I can’t remember for sure if the cover is the same as shown here, but it kind of gives it away. Maybe as a young child I didn’t notice or care?

A book for generations

I am so thrilled to find that this book has been released again. This was my favorite book as a child. And it was one of my mother's favorites as a child as well. I have an old worn out copy that I found a few years ago so I could read it to my daughter. My daughter loves it and wants to read it by herself now. What a joy to find that I can purchase her a copy that isn't falling apart and she can enjoy for years to come! Such...

Best Children's Book Ever!:)

This was my favorite book as a child. I purchased a copy on e-bay many years ago. I was thrilled when I found that it was going to be re-printed! It brings tears to my eyes whenever I read it! This book not only entertains but also teaches American children what a 'melting pot' this country really is! I highly recommend it!
