Summary

Fannie Roach Palmer and Kathrine Peterson help you explore the doll world. From art dolls to the hottest websites the book is informative and entertaining. Fannie shares her memories as a child growing up on a farm in Nova Scotia and tells why her dolls were a big part of her youth. Another chapter takes the readers through a WWII tour that uses a period doll and a preserved 1940's neighborhood to teach a bit of history. You will also learn how the Baby Think It Over "RM" is a powerful teaching aid that is being used by educators, doctors, church groups and parents to give students practical experience in parenting and child care. These simulated infants have a device that measures the type of care it receives from the student.

The popular Literary Dolls are dolls that relate or deal with literature, their authors or subjects. Learn how the Friends of the Library and a whole community come together using students and volunteers to create their own home town Literary Doll, The Sarah Orne Jewett Doll. Also, a home-schooling family in Georgia overcomes obstacles
