Reading commitment

Balanced Moderate time

This Dover paper-doll title requires craft time for cutting, assembling, and optional display rather than sequential reading.

What stands out here

The 1995 Dover Pubns edition reproduces Tom Tierney’s illustrations and period wardrobe plates for use as paper dolls and reference.

Best way to approach it

Approach this as a tactile pastime: use scissors, archival mounting if saving, and refer to the plates as visual costume references rather than narrative text.
