3 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
A string of paper dolls go on a fantastical adventure through the house and out into the garden. They soon escape the clutches of the toy dinosaur and the snapping jaws of the oven-glove crocodile, but then a very real pair of scissors threatens.The Paper Dolls is a stunning, rhythmical story of childhood, memory and the power of imagination from the author of The Gruffalo, and illustrating talent Rebecca Cobb.

This is a lovely picture book about a little girl who makes paper dolls with her mum. They are "Ticky and Tacky and Jackie the Backie and Jim with two noses and Jo with the bow" and they have many adventures. I love the ending: the little girl has grown up and is making paper dolls with her own child.

"We're Ticky and Tacky and Jackie the Backie and Jim with two noses and Jo with the bow"

I cannot read this one without getting a little bit of a lump in my throat. I find it incredibly poignant. It is so simple yet so powerful and I think my daughter gets something different from it now she's a little older. The double page spread of the little girl's memories is so beautiful I'm tearing up just thinking about it!
