The Little Girl and the Tiny Doll

The Little Girl and the Tiny Doll by Aingelda Ardizzone and illustrated by Edward Ardizzone has been delighting generations of children.

There was once a tiny doll who belonged to a girl who did not care for dolls. One day when the little girl was shopping in the supermarket with her mother, she threw the tiny doll into a deep freeze. So the tiny doll had to stay there, cold and lonely, and frightened by people shuffling all the food round her. But someone came along who felt sorry for her, and thought of ways to make her happier, so the tiny doll began to smile again.

Reviews

Funny and very moving

—— Josie Lawrence , Daily Express

An unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong sense of mischief

—— Independent on Sunday

The chatty style draws young readers straight into the story, and the constant stream of corny jokes masks, but does not conceal, the deeper issues

—— Daily Telegraph

This is an hilarious and at the same time exceptionally emotional story

—— Scribbler

The fact that it doesn't end in a fairy tale happy ever after makes it more realistic because life isn't like that!

—— Boox: nine

Brilliant . . . Touching

—— Kids Stuff

Utterly memorable . . . Jacqueline Wilson has a beautifully light touch for such difficult subjects

—— SW Magazine

Jacqueline Wilson writes the kind of books you just can't put down, making you feel so many emotions that you don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . a must-read for teenagers

—— Newcastle Upon Tyne Evening Chronicle

Chosen by a reader as her favourite book

—— Go Girl

Moving and intense story involving domestic violence and breast cancer but which manages to be uplifting about both.

—— Bournemouth Daily Echo

Yet another brilliant book that you never want to put down.

—— Newcastle Upon Tyne Evening Chronicle
