Hazel is a little girl with a doll named Eleanor. Hazel's mother made Eleanor, Eleanor's shoes and Eleanor's dress. On her way home, Hazel gets a little lost. After a few kids start picking on her Hazel wishes for her mom....what happens next, I won't say. This book is a sweet book that demonstrates the power of love between a mother and her child. =)
This is the story about Hazel and her doll Eleanor. One day Hazel and Eleanor get lost and some bigger kids throw Eleanor around until she is just a rag. At that moment Hazel's mother myteriously lands in a tree next to them and makes the bullies fix Eleanor before they leave. I thought the story was quite boring, but kids seem to enjoy it a lot.
This book shows the importance of a mother, and how much they really care about there children. Hazel's mother comes to the rescue to save her daughter, and it also involves the neighborhood in the story as well. This is a great example to help children appreciate there parents and to realize how much they do for them. This book helps learn what the mother figure looks like and how real love is sacrafice.
This book is good for younger children because it talks about the people in the neighborhood like the mail man and the police officer and the baker. Little Hazel gets lost on her way home, but it works out in the end.
When Hazel takes her doll Eleanor and gets lost after taking a wrong turn, bullies take Eleanor apart, until Hazel calls her mother, who makes everything better.
52 months - there are other Rosemary Wells stories that we like better and this one only got a couple of reads before it went back to the library.
This is a story to read over and over again. The pictures are awesome.
