My predecessor was obsessed with the dolls and had tea parties, etc., multiple copies of each book. I can't get the books to check out now and they are slowly being weeded (many of the original series, in fact, are now out of print.) If I had one donated, I
might put it in a learning kit for that time period, but otherwise I don't think it would circulate alone.</div>
