"What a nice, classic book. Christmas themed, although we read it after the holiday. It gives story and characters but gives a child room to imagine, too."
"I bought this for my granddaughters but can't part with it. It is an old old book about a girl named Susan (no coincidence) and her dollhouse. The dialogue is hysterical and the pictures, charming."
"This book is sweet. I'm giving is a high rating because my daughter LOVES it. It was recommended to me by a friend, and my gaughter has read it (or I've read it to her) about a zillion times in the past three days -- she has enjoyed it so much. Great read-aloud for about six and up, and for those with readers at the 3rd grade level, they can probably read this too."
