Barbie: A Day at the Fair

Barbie

by Carol Pugliano-Martin

Barbie’s little sister Kelly can’t wait to go to the fair and ride the Ferris wheel–all by herself! But when she gets there the ride looks a lot bigger–and a lot scarier–than she imagined. With Barbie’s help, Kelly learns that sometimes it helps to have a big sister to hold on to when you’re trying new things.

Kelly thinks she is big enough to ride the ferris wheel alone. But, when she gets to the fair, she chickens out, and refuses to ride it until Barbie rides with her.

I was not impressed with the story or art. I especially disliked how Kelly had brown eyes throughout the story then had blue eyes on the final page. What?!?

This is an old school Barbie book, the nostalgia feels are definitely there. Kelly goes to the fair with her big sister Barbie and do all sorts of fun activities.

My daughter loves it so that is important. I wish there was a bit more variety in the people represented in the pix.

Kids that love Barbie will also like this book. Can use this book to discuss fears about new things and how children can ask for help when they are feeling this way.
