Hi Dr. E! Thank you for letting me know about this blog. I love all the information about dolls, doll collecting, and how to start a doll museum. I clicked the interesting/cool boxes, but it didn't seem to register. I hope it does, but either way, know that I think this blog is both interesting and cool. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThe Doll Hospital children's chapter books (Scholastic) are out of print btw, but still available used in some places. I loved writing that series and it has been the one I've heard from fans the most about. I'm glad you enjoyed it, E!

Thank you, Joan. I think I saw results on the boxes; all this is still new to me, but I love it. Your books are wonderful.
