The Paper Dolls

Book cover for The Paper DollsBuy the book

The Paper Dolls is a wonderful story of childhood, memory and the power of imagination from the author of The Gruffalo, and illustrating talent Rebecca Cobb. A string of paper dolls go on a fantastical adventure through the house and out into the garden. They soon escape the clutches of the toy dinosaur and the snapping jaws of the oven-glove crocodile, but then a very real pair of scissors threatens.
