These books are beautiful full color sticker books with 12 two-page scenes featuring 3 girl characters to be dressed in the sticker clothing.  Each book has 10 full pages of re-usable sticker clothing and accessories.  The first page introduces the characters and gives hints as to each girls likes and dislikes.  As you walk through each page with your toddler girl, you can ask questions to lead her to dress each figure in the clothing that specific character would most like.  You can call each figure by name.  One fun outcome was when my oldest daughter decided to cut out each girl on each page and ended up with many well dressed sticker dolls! 

Each figure is "pre" dressed in modest undergarments.  Occasionally a "less then" modest article of clothing is included, but not frequently.   They do not have adult shapes.  The only example I remember is the two-piece bathing suits in the Princess book.  From a Christian Worldview, the sheer volume of "stuff" each girl has on each page is very materialistic.  In addition, several spaghetti top type outfits, shorter skirts, and sleeveless ball gowns are included.  These things might frustrate some parents. For the most part, my girls have ignored the extra stuff and concentrated on dressing and re-dressing the characters and making up stories to go along.   My daughters have occasionally used the extra items to "play" different stories as we have read in literature. 

A wealth of learning is found in these books when worked together with your toddler two pages at a time.  We spent a few minutes each day reviewing the characters and their likes and dislikes, choosing and dressing each character, choosing and giving a few accessories, discussing the day's scene, talking about the types of clothes they needed for the weather and occasion, talking about matching tops to bottoms, and telling stories about our finished page.
