Dover Publications, 1983
Beautiful
+ Classroom material
+ Interesting...
I thought that this book was brilliant! It was kind of shocking when I got it, I hadn't heard about Tom Tierney, because the paper dolls and costumes were so pretty. I really never thought anyone could draw like it. This is one of the greatest of his books.
