Babushka's Doll Kindle Edition

A very clever story about not being selfish when a little girl gets a taste of her own medicine. It made me laugh at what the author did and I’m sure will teach many children a good lesson. It does seem like it would be over younger audience’s heads. Perhaps more suitable for early to middle elementary school.

Beautiful story and illustrations. My daughter loves this book and so do I. I reference this story a lot when she is impatient, like when I am feeding our old cat and she wants to eat Now!

I give high praise for Polacco as an illustrator and writer, but this story may be a little abstract for younger readers at the primary-grade level. Of course, under a teacher or other adult, the author's "object lesson" (objective, "point") may be understood.Whether or not the listener/reader can really take to heart the message of this tale about being self-centered--the need for patience, consideration and respect for others--can only be hoped for. I'm not sure this is a tale that children will want to hear over and over.(Other books by this author certainly do qualify as re-reads!) The Creative Teacher: Activities for Language Arts (Grades 4 through 8 and Up)

I love Patricia Polacco’s work and this is my favorite book of hers. My daughter enjoys it and requests it at bedtime frequently. I highly recommend this book as well as any of Polacco’s other books.

Cutest book ever! My daughter who is 16,m requested this book . She read it as a child and swears it was one of her favs. It made her feel so nostalgic and she loves it so much.

Can't go wrong with Patricia Polacco's books!

Love Patricia Polacco! Have many of her books. This one is special and worked really well for the little one I bought it for.

Lovely story and beautiful illustrations. A Keepsake book for young kids to pass on to their kids.

Great story to encourage children to consider others

My daughter brought this book home often from the library at school. Loved it then and now I can share the story with my Grandchildren. They love it too.

My students enjoyed the story and it served as a starting point for talking about good and bad behaviour and throwing tantrums (I work with pre-schoolers). I recommand this book.
