pickThis is a reprint of a 1994 book chronicling Barbie‘s place sociologically in society, the history of her conception, and a bit of business history of Mattel. The only update is a new preface based on the Barbie movie. Still, it‘s an interesting book — just don‘t expect all the info to be updated.
pickWhat an insightful look into the world of Barbie!
This book was originally published in the 90s, but this edition has a new preface which does discuss the Barbie movie. In the preface, the author also discusses that she left the book unchanged so it‘s a large reflection of the 90s.

I would very much enjoy reading this book to a group of children. There is so much to relate Olivia's day with a typical day for a child. In addition, we can have a conversation about why everything Olivia touches is red. We can talk about how much of an impact Olivia has on the things around her. And then we can relate this back to the students and how the things they do or touch make an impact on the world around them too.
