1-3All Aboard Reading series.
Illustrated by
DyAnne DiSalvo.
Nine-year-old Kate proves to her doubting mom that she's old enough to play carefully with the heirloom doll that her grandmother has given her. This upper-level easy reader contains a lot of text, but the accessible format will attract newly independent readers. Plentiful illustrations in pastels accompany this pleasant but didactic story that may appeal to doll fans.
