The Doll People Set Sail

Title: The Doll People Set Sail

Author: Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin

Illustrator: Brett Helquist

Grade Level: 5&6th

As always, this doll people book was a delight to read. As always, the story was partially told through detailed pictures. Unfortunately, the pictures are this book's downfall. There are superheroes...not a huge deal. However, there are also merdolls and mermen. They unsnap their tails so they can walk. They are included in a large number of illustrations and are very inappropriately dressed, including on the cover of the book. So, while the story was great, this book is not recommended for children.
