How would you like a playmate...

• That is small enough to fit in your pocket.
• That is happy when you want her to be happy and sad when you want her to be sad.
• Who won't care if she is Sally one minute and Samantha the next.
• Who will stay where you put her until you are done washing the dishes.
• Who will smile sweetly at you, no matter how you treat her.
• That you can replace with a dozen or so more if she gets lost, torn, or drowned.

Enjoy life along with Nancy and her paper dolls. Learn what happens when a paper doll goes along to church or gets lost in the junk-drawer disaster. Read about the beautiful gift that comes to Nancy, and the hard decision that it brings to her.

Take the opportunity to create your own paper-doll family from the set in the paper-doll booklet that goes with this storybook. Then make some for your sisters and friends so that girls everywhere can enjoy paper playmates.
