Customer Reviews

Fabulous costumes!
The drawings and costumes are exquisite, like most of Tom Tierny books are. The explanation of each type of costume is well-done and easy to understand. My only exception to the product is the near nudity--tastefully done and, I'm sure, just done to show authenticity, but it may be something to consider if you are buying this for a child. This particular book has a lot of the near nudity, but I guess that was ancient Egypt for you.

Rated M for Mature
I can't believe no other reviewer has mentioned that the girl paperdoll is topless! In a couple of the costumes, she has nothing on top (sure it's covered by props, but not well) and since when do paperdolls have DD cups? I got this for my daughter for Christmas, but there's NO WAY I would ever let her play with this type of paperdoll. Is it too hard to actually make something that's appropriate for children? Definitely not G rated IMO!

Disappointed Buyer
I bought this book for my daughter's fourth grade class and was disappointed to see nudity on almost every page. I've purchased paper paper doll books from other eras and had no problem, but this one was completely unusable. I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased it.
