For Fun, not Collections
My kids like it. It's got excellent layout, clear crisp pics, but isn't comprehensive. Great to look through, and point to - look, I had that one when I was a kid..... (YOU were a KID?) I don't use it with my collection, but I am glad I bought it - it makes a pleasent just for fun.

Beautiful book! Nice pictures!
This book is really nice, the pictures are gorgeous, and it has some index on Barbie dolls by year, also Barbie's friends. Not so much on collectible dolls, but there are some dolls with gorgeous pics, some are different from the publish pics and a few are the same. Nice information for dolls and furniture. Great book! The cover is stunning!!!!

The Best Book in the World
I love this book. This is the neatest book in the world. It has almost every Barbie I have in there. My favorite Barbie was the Olympic P.J. I use it to help me surf on Ebay. If you like Barbies, get this book now!

A Trip down Barbie Lane
My 4 1/2 year-old just loves everything about Barbie. Although I am not a Barbie nut, I truly appreciated this book and highly recommend it for parents and children alike.

I enjoyed this book particularly because it isn't kitsch, nor is it over-the-top Barbie. It is easy to read and browse thru, even for my young daughter. The chapters make sense and give a good overview of all of the Barbie "periods", including all of the fancy, funky and frilly outfits. The layouts are great (dare I say intelligent), and the photos chronicle a good history of Barbie and friends. I took a walk down memory lane, finding some of the Barbies and Francines that I owned.

This is the first Barbie book I've seen (and I've seen many) that shows the old "Barbie Country Camper" and the great 70's puffy plastic houses in all their glory.

This is a must for anyone remotely interested in Barbie. ... Read more

Safety tips are also included
Recommended for girls age 5-8, Fiona Munro's Barbie Fun To Cook is an illustrated, step-by-step cookbook for creating short, simple, nutritious dishes. Extensive color photographs of the ingredients, preparation steps, mouth-watering finished dishes, and of course Barbie herself make every cooking technique easy to grasp and fun to learn. Safety tips are also included, though very young children should of course have adult supervision in the kitchen. Highly recommended to help teach youngsters the joy of cooking! From Sunshine Breakfast, Chunky Chocolate Cookies, and Pick-Up Pizzas, to Dippy Chicken, Burger Bites, and Best-Ever Brownies, Barbie Fun To Cook is a welcome addition to any youngster's cookbook shelf!

Way to Go Barbie you Cookingrl!
My first question is: "How does Barbie stay so skinny eating all this delicious food?" On the other hand, who cares...just pass me the brownies. Can I say, Barbie does look cute in an apron as well. Children love to learn how to cook. It is only when we get to be adults that we find out it is a bit of work. Not too much, but it does take more effort and your mom and dad are not there to pick up after you. I just hate that!!!!

So, what is Barbie cooking? You will find recipes for all her favorite foods. Simple step-by-step photographs show you how to make fruity freezies. They are great for the summer and you could make them now. This is a really fun cookbook even a "girl-at-heart woman" can enjoy. Remember making those chocolate cakes and eating them as fast as you made them in your "light bulb" based oven? Well, here you are using a real oven and kids sure have grown up!

I would advise adult supervision around the stove, but my mother let me start cooking at a very early age. I am sure she was nearby, but I was so intrigued with cooking...I just remember my poor dad scrubbing burnt pans...(Until I learned how to watch what I was doing and not leave things on the stove while I was outside playing. Hey, I was only 7) The recipes include: A Fruity Feast, Sunshine Breakfast, Mini Muffins, Sandwich Stacks, Aprinana Cake, Chocolate Cookies, Fuity Freezies, Lemon Cooler, Super Shakes, Rainbow Fruit Snack Sticks, Cute Cookies (and they are cute!), Birthday Cakes complete with butterflies (Martha would be proud of Barbie), Chocolate Dipped Fruit, Mini Pizzas, Burger Bites, Dippy Chicken (Thai Chicken with peanut dip), Perfect Pasta with tomato sauce, Stuffed Baked Potatoes, Nacho Nibbles, Super Sundaes, Brownies and Two Minute Treats (popcorn, banana sandwiches, salad, celery with fillings, apple boats with cheese sails).

Barbies appear on each recipe and tell you why you "just must" try their recipes. "Here are two ideas for a fabulously fruity brunchtime treat." says Barbie. She then gives pictures of all the ingredients with their names and then shows step-by-step phographs of a real kid helping her cook. This is totally a girly, girl cookbook. ... Read more
