The Best Book , Doll Hospital

The best book I've read this year was Doll Hospital. Doll Hospital is about two sisters that live with their grandma AKA Nana while their parents are treating ill people in Africa The two girls Lila and Rose help their grandma with her job. Their grandma fixes dolls for people. Lila and Rose discover that they love dolls and get really close to their grandma. I cant tell you any more than that,you will just have to buy the book yourself to find out. If you love dolls you should definately buy this book because it has lots of dolls, clothes and lots of more girly things. Doll hospital is a great book for girls if they like dolls. I really hope you buy this book and enjoy it. By:K.C.

I love dolls

I like the dolls that can talk. I could read this book and my mom read it. I like the paeprdoll. This is a good story for girls in 3 grade.

Well written book about dolls and girls

I read the first book (Tatiana Comes to America) with my daughter and we both enjoyed it. We were thrilled to find this 2nd book about the doll hospital. This book is about a different doll and a girl who sacrifices for her family during the Depression. It also continues the ongoing story of Rose and Lila and their grandmother who runs a doll hospital. We liked learning about doll repair details too. Great way to combine historical fiction and a modern-day story. Just right for my 9 year old's reading level and interest level.
