American Family of the Civil War Era Paper Dolls in Full Color

Summary: Great introduction to Civil War era clothing
Review: This book offers a good introduction into the clothing of the Civil War era family. The pictures have wonderful color and the descriptions are easily understood and informative. Although it is a paper doll book, I prefer to keep it intact and enjoy it that way. However, it would also make a great gift for a paper doll enthusuiast. It is a great book for kids and parents to enjoy together, as are all of the "American Family" books by Tierney. A great buy!

Summary: fun book
Review: This is a very nice book. The costumes are very pretty, though they don't compare with the Southern books Mr. Tierney's done. The dolls aren't very pretty, in my opinion, but I may be prejudiced since I'm from the South. It includes a wedding dress for Christine and the family's attire for all occasions. The little girl, Annie is very cute. This would be good classroom material.
