if you know a little girl . . .

you really must go get this book for her!!! my beautiful, 10-year-old neighbor will soon know how to make a sit-upon, the history of spanish queens, and how to tell a good ghost story! if you are a grown-up girl-child of the '80's and find yourself sort of sad that little girls these days are growing up so differently than we did, go make friends with a cell-phone carrying, iPod listening, video game playing, mini skirt wearing little girl and give her this book. i bet she might thank you for the whole new world you would be showing her!
