Reviews

In this vibrantly illustrated cautionary tale, a selfish girl becomes ``quite nice after all'' after learning a valuable lesson from a doll that comes to life. Ages 4-8. (Aug.)

PreS-Gr 2‘Patricia Polacco's story (S&S, 1990) is a cautionary tale of a young, self-centered girl named Natasha, and her babushka (Grandmother). When Babushka's doll comes to life and gives Natasha a taste of her own medicine, she learns a valuable lesson about being considerate of others. The narrator, Barbara Caruso, finds a voice for each character and reads the story in clear, rich tones without the distraction of background music or sound effects. Both sides of the tape contain an identical reading. This gentle, refined treatment of a delightful book would be useful for listening centers.‘Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary School, Federal Way, WA
