    For adults, not kids. Inappropriate.
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2020*

I’m so tired of saying this, but the books are super, super cute. I never noticed even when I was 18 that they’re totally Lolita books and entirely inappropriate for children. They’re the books to give your child or a friend’s  child with the expectation that they are to be groomed for sexually and physically violent relationships. Mr. Bear is the stern older man who is loving but then hikes Edith’s skirt up and spanks her in a visually titillating way.In one book he buys her a long dress so she can feel supremely adult, and when she breaks his clock, she is suddenly that small spoiled brat on whom he must pull the skirt up and perform another sexy spanking.For adult collectors.

    a simple, darling book about a lonely doll; a product of its time
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2021*

As a doll collecter, vintage lover, and avid reader of children's books "The Lonely Doll" series has quickly become one of my favourites in my collection. Edith, the titular lonely doll, befriends Mr. Bear and his son Little Bear and become a found family. One day when Mr. Bear goes out, Edith and Little Bear play dress up with clothing and makeup that don't belong to them and get caught. It is a short, simple story about respecting others things.I would like to express that although this is a republication, it is important to understand that this story was originally published back in the 1950's and is a product of its time. The images are grainy and blurred and the method of disiplining the misbehaving children (the spanking scene) does not reflect well in the modern day. Unlike some reviews I have seen claim it to be, this story is NOT "erotic" or s*xualizing like "Lolita", and their view on the relationship between Edith and Mr. Bear as anything but a Daughter-Father bond is incorrect. This book was made for children and would still be something that could be shared to one, but since it is outdated in several aspects think it is best as a collection piece rather than a lesson for a child today.

    Beautiful
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020*

I am 67 years old and I still remember back when I was about 6 years old and this was my first book from the library.  This book made me fall in love with reading forever.  Now my granddaughters have read it and even if they are beyond 6 they still enjoyed reading it.  A little keepsake from my childhood.  Highly recommend for any little girl.
