* This item was introduced in 1996 and retired in 2000. *
The good: great to have, wonderful to use. The front and back snap together into a book. the dolls and accessories look great next to it.
The bad: it's Very big!

I was pleasantly surprised to find this today at a local thrift store. The scenes are nice and have a lot of detail. I just wish the bed wasn't include in the bedroom picture. Even though I knew the dimensions, the size is a bit overwhelming when opened up. It is pretty big and takes up a lot of space.

Wow! Molly's scenes and settings are gorgeous. Perhaps it is just me wanting to go back in time, but I think her home scene on the front is the best of all the dolls' cover scenes. I especially love the story details in each scene such as Benett in the bedroom scene and the "Hooray USA" poster in the drug store. My all time favorite is the school scene. I am a teacher so even the writing on the chalkboard it perfect to me. I can't wait to buy Molly's desk for my classroom display!

I got these from my stepsister when she gave me her dolls and their things in the summer of 2009. Because of their size, I stored them in the back room (my apartment equivalent of an attic) and kept forgetting about them until I put them up to do a classroom-themed doll story today.
On one hand, the details are so much fun to look at. The classroom is so realistic and versatile, I used it for a kindergarten and elementary school class, and neither looked out of place. I even got away with using it without furniture. The cheery yellow kitchen is really cute, too.
On the other hand, as Rabluv pointed out, these things are BIG. There's a reason I mostly keep it in storage. Unless you have lots of room to display them, you're probably best off doing the same until you need them.
