5-0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
This book is both inspiring and practical.Many, many wonderful pictures to look at for inspiration and patterns for creating your own!I have already dog eared my pages!!

5-0 out of 5 stars SO WORTH IT
Beautiful examples, innovative approaches and inspiring photos. Get it, you won't be sorry!

5-0 out of 5 stars Everything you want to know about paperdoll history & creation
I waited eagerly for this book to be published, as I have been fascinated with the art paperdoll phenomenon on eBay and elsewhere (Claudine Hellmuth's "poppets," for example).This book has more than satisfied my hopes.The author, Terry Taylor, has organized the book in an unusual way, mixing three main elements throughout - the history of paper dolls, fabulous art dolls made by himself and other artists, and projects one can do oneself at any skill level.Instead of plowing through the obligatory history chapters before getting to the inspirational part, the book slides a brief but solid history of paper dolls in with the contemporary art and the project ideas.

5-0 out of 5 stars The coolest planes you can make!!
I bought this for my 6 yr old son who was always asking me to make my one and only paper airplane for him. Than he I taught him how to do it himself.BUT, this book has so many cool planes and they all fly and fly really WELL too!!My son figured out every single airplane from the terrific and easy to follow directions. After he mastered the planes with reg. paper, he made them all with the awesome printed papers in the back of the book, and he saved them all.He is almost 8 now and he still likes to make paper airplanes that he learned from this book, and HE makes them for HIS friends now.Very cool book, very nice and easy instructions, great pictures and plenty of cool papers to fold into planes.If your child is interested at all in paper airplanes this is a great gift idea...heck you too may learn a few tricks!! :-)

5-0 out of 5 stars great for children at any age
I get this book for my son when he was 6 years old and he loves it. It have great illustrations and directions to folow. I bought another one for a boy who lives oversea, for whom english is a third language.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for all ages
We purchased the Klutz Paper Airplane book this summer on vacation.Our kids ages 5 to 15 both male and female loved it.We had fun making and flying them as well.I bought 4 copies for birthday gifts for my son's friends.I know the book will be a big hit. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Fuzzy, Fluffy, Squashy Fun
Our twin babies are enjoying these "That's Not My..." books. These are more engaging than some of the other touchy-feely books we've got. Some books put materials in the pages for the babies to touch, just for the sake of having them there - and the words don't seem to "match up" with the thing we're feeling, or they are so stretched for material that it barely makes sense what we're feeling. Many of the "touchy-feely" books simply lack story content. That's not true of these Usborne touchy-feelies. The text is simple and makes sense to toddlers, and gives them a wider vocabulary of adjectives -- especially "tactile" words, like "fuzzy," "fluffy," "shiny," "hairy," and even (in "That's Not My Teddy"), "squashy!"
5-0 out of 5 stars Our Son's Favorite!
Our son is now 5 months old and this is his favorite book.He loves trying to grab the mouse on every page and knows where to feel on all the teddies.He likes books in general, but you can really see him tune in when we pull this one out - he loves it!We can't wait to try out the others in this series!
5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best of the many touch and feel books out there!
There are ALL KINDS of touch and feel books out there now, many more than there were 7 years ago during my prior go-round as a mother of a baby!I find the quality varies a lot.So far, this is the winner for me!The pages are very thick, so the touchable parts of them can be thick also, and really be something you can touch.When the teddy shown has a soft nose, it's truly soft fabric, and feels like it will stay that way.The shiny eyes on another are big enough to really be noticed.The pages are simple and uncluttered, and the story is basic enough to be understood by a young listener.I plan on buying more from this series! ...

4-0 out of 5 stars A great addition to paper doll making
I scrapbook everyday and have a lot of nieces and newphews.I think that this is a fabulous book if you want to spend some time with your kids.You can show them how to remove the pieces and place the clothes on the dolls.There are pages with backgrounds so they can put the paper dolls in the scene they desire.Then sit back and watch them make memories while you take their picture.It's a very colorful and sweet book.I didn't give it 5 stars because I thought the designs of the dolls could've been better.Overall, it's a very cute book and you'll have fun with it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Super Fun!
I think the fabulous book of paper dolls was very super fun! There are so many clothes that you can play literally for hours and not get bored! When I grow Up I will give this to my kids and say 'I played with these when I was a little girl.' These Dolls are fun, even for boys!It is really messy- But hey! That's what makes it fun. I hate it when people drone on about how there's nowhere to store them. Ever heard of a plastic bag? Anyway,I really Reccomend these.

3-0 out of 5 stars labor intensive
This book is pretty labor intensive for the parents of young children.I bought this for my 3 year old.There are hundreds of pieces to punch out (not to mention keeping track of them after!) and gazillions of teeny tiny pieces of double sided tape to fasten the clothes on with.I think an older child who can enjoy all that assembly work on thier own might benefit from this more than your 3-5 year olds.

This book is absolutely unbelievable.It was my first pop-up book and after purchasing this book I can't get enough pop-ups for my growing collection.If you're interested in fashion or just love to look at pretty books this is one for you.
5-0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Education!
What a delightful book!The design engineers, who created this masterpiece, must be incredibly clever!This book is not only historically educational, it is fun.(Remember to be gentle--this is not for small children)

4-0 out of 5 stars A(Fun!) Pop-Up Book For Grownups
I have always loved pop-up books and this one is no exception. Each page has an interesting new surprize. The illustrations are bright and well-rendered. The only quibble I have is that the ladies are a bit tricky to set up. In other words,be gentle or you might rip them a tiny bit(yes,it happened to me.) This book would make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys fashion and or novelty books.. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Twenties
Tom Tierney has put together a wonderful set of paper dolls in this book.He has beautifully traced the development of fashion during the course of the twenties.Included are sportswear, elegant daywear, sumptuous evening gowns and a fabulous wedding dress by Worth.My favorites were the fur wrap over a drop waisted dress by Louiseboulanger, a look often seen in photos of film stars of the era, and the Egyptian gown fit for a vamp like Theda Bara.I also like the resemblance of one of the dolls to Mae Murray as it adds a touch of authenticity. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Brings Color Into A Black and White World
The artwork is terrific - on a variety of levels.First of all, it's gorgeous and full of energy.The detail is astounding.Second, it's amazing to FINALLY see these outfits in color after only seeing them in black and white since what seems like the dawn of time.And the book keeps it all fun and lively!I highly recommend it - and the price is right.Buy two - one to keep and the other to cut up and play with.

5-0 out of 5 stars IF YOU LOVE LUCY YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!
I've been watching I LOVE LUCY for years and never knew what I'd been missing until I bought this!Allan Glaser's book gives a peek at the clothes Lucy actually wore in color (after only seeing them in black & white on tv) and in the most wonderful detail. This is a real treasure.

5-0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Book
I think this is such an awesome book, especially if you are a huge Lucille Ball fan like I am. Rick Carl illustrated all the pictures and he did a marvelous job. All the beautiful dresses Lucille Ball wore on I Love Lucy were all illustrated just the way you would imagine it if the show had been in color. I recomend this book to everyone who likes I Love Lucy. It would be a wonderful gift for anyone. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Tom Tierney Excels
Tom Tierney was at his best when he created Marilyn Monroe Paper Dolls.The renderings are absolutely gorgeous.The use of colour and line is superb in its subtlety.True paper doll enthusiasts will appreciate this work because the doll isn't just a piece of paper behind a costume with a hole for the face (unlike Mr Tierney's later work).Fans of Marilyn Monroe will be delighted by the sensitivity with which Mr Tierney has portrayed the legendary star.

The Glamorous Movie Stars of the Fifties Paper Dolls by Tom Tierney is a wonderful work with each lady lovingly portrayed by the artist.I especially loved Elizabeth Taylor in her famous silk slip from "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".She was at her most stunning in that film and the doll captures her beauty perfectly.

2-0 out of 5 stars The illustrations were okay...
The dresses looked like they were hanging off the arms on some of the illustrations, the figures were drawn a little out of proportion. The dress details were lovely.

3-0 out of 5 stars Lovely pictures but a lot of guessing without captions
I enjoyed this book, but it would have been really helpful for the author to have just given a couple of lines on each page to describe the outfits. For example "Silk ballgown, 1812" or "Muslin pelisse 1815," would have made this book more than just a child's cut out toy. Just a few words on the page would have made all the difference and given this book historical weight...and a fun learning experience. A real shame.

5-0 out of 5 stars dozens of dolls
This book is full of excellent costumes to fit every ocasion, and use. Balls, walks in the park, traveling, court presentations; "George and Jane" are prepared for it all. The dolls have been great fun and very useful for everything from period dioramas to costume ideas. Even the undergarments on the dolls are apropriate for the period. Certainly my favorite of the Tierney's I own. ... Read more

My kids got tired of their toys. i got tired of buying them new ones. So I found this book and discovered through it....new uses for the toys they already had. It was like buying all new toys. I cannot recommend this book enough if you don't want to go out and buy new toys. And, it teaches kids the science behind the toys, which is an added benefit.

I bought this book at a bookstore and liked the content. It is a very easy to use book to use with children. I have used it with my kindergarten kids and my kids who are older at home. There are so many good ideas and concepts to learn that even we teachers can learn from it! I like the book very much...in fact so much that I am going toget this author'sother books through Amazon!

This book saved me money and taught my children some important academics! I highly recommend! ... Read more

This is one of Tom Tierney's prettiest and most feminine books.The plates are worthy of being framed, and I'm sure that most aspiring ballet dancers would love to have them on the wall in their rooms.

I can't imagine a more painless way of learning about 19th century ballet than Tom Tierney's Ballet Stars of the Romantic Era. True to history, the four ballerinas have the matching costumes they wore for their famous Pas de Quatre -- when all four shared a single stage. Careful details includeMarie Taglioni's trademark pearl necklace: she thought her neck was toolong, and always wore a pearl choker to disguise it. The four ballerinasshare a partner, dancer/choreographer Jules Perrot, so there are five dollsin all. My dancer daughter has had these paper dolls for years, and stilltreasures them. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A short, sweet, simple time filler!
My 5 year old son, 2 year old daughter and their friends (with some help of my husband and/or me) have spent many an hour folding and flying these airplanes. True there are only 3 planes, but that hasn't stopped them from folding them over and over with different types of paper. I recommend this as a great stocking stuffer for any age kid, girl or boy!

For the same money, you should get Quick and Easy Paper Planes that Really Fly, by Paul Jackson.This book has many more models and clear, easy instructions.My son already knew how to build the three planes in this foldout.

4-0 out of 5 stars A smooth flight
Three paper aeroplane designs presented with typical clarity byKlutz. The fold-out format is excellent, being a good size, durableand able to lie flat more easily than a paperback. Graphics are clear and attractive and the text, though brief, has the usual Klutz sparkle and amusing asides. The only real disappointment here is that all three 'planes are much of a muchness. Given the constraints of space and simplicity it is easy to see why more advanced models were avoided, but still it would have been nice to have at least one that looked radically different from its brethren. A fair price for what you get and a splendid introduction to the most elegant and enjoyable way I know to litter the countryside. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Marie Antoinette Paper Dolls Review
This paper doll book is beautifully rendered (like all of Tom Tierney's work), but it disappoints with it's lack of historical accuracy.Firstly, the doll itself bears no resemblance to the extant portraits of Marie Antoinette.In fact, the doll and a gown(plate 4) look as if they were based on a portrait of Madame de Pompadour.Marie Antoinette would not have been amused!

2-0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
My problem with the book is that the characters are drawn to look like the actors in the A&E production of Pride and Prejudice who did not always resemble the characters as described in the book. I found it disappointing.

3-0 out of 5 stars A Nice but not a Great paper doll book
Mattox's rendering of the classic Austen characters is helpful for English teachers and probably appealing to many Janeites, but Mattox is not Tom Tierney, and her drawings lack the bold lines and aesthetic superiority of his work. While I would like to see more paper doll collections illustrating literary works, I wish that they could all be as lovely and artistic as the books by Tierney. Mattox is GOOD, but she isn't GREAT, and on that level this book was something of a disappointment to me.

4-0 out of 5 stars Bought this for a friend...
Actually, I considered keeping this for myself. Then I reminded myself that I am not that fond of paper dolls. The characters in the book were the major characters - Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, Lydia, and some others. A variety of costumes was provided for each character. This is a fun book for someone who loves paper dolls (even an adult!) and/or loves Regency-style costumes. A Jane Austen fan like me might like it, but then again might not. There are similiar books in this series, including one on the general Regency period and on the French Empire fashions. A gift likely to delight a young or older collector of paper dolls, or a lover of antique English costumes. ... Read more
