Average Rating: 
Rating: - Perfect baby gift
I have been giving this book as a baby shower gift for many years! I consider it a MUST read--especially for dads--- and for parents of baby boys. It's such a good, gentle lesson for both sexes.
Rating: - A book for all little boys and their parents
If you have boys, you should have this book. It is just as much for us parents. Explains in such a simple way why it is important for a little boy to have something to take care of. We love seeing our little girls pretend to be mommies, why shouldn't we want our boys to feel proud of pretending to be daddies?
Rating: - Zolotow is brilliant!
This story literally brings a tear to my eye every time I read it. If you have a little boy that ever showed interest in a doll this is the book for your entire family. I also recommend Zolotow's book "Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present".
Rating: - An adventure with books
As a children's librarian, I wander through the children's book section on Amazon quite often. When I found William's Doll, I knew our library had to have it. The day I brought it in to share with second grade, one sharp boy spied the book with, "She has William's Doll. Hahahaha."

We talked about dolls, the various kinds, what dolls are ... Read More
Rating: - Also on "Free to be You and Me"
There's a wonderful musical segment of "William's Doll" on "Free to be You and Me." My mother in law got the movie for my husband when he was in elementary school because it had open and affirming messages, and when it came out on DVD, my husband picked it up for our girls. They love it--it's funny, thought provoking, and even though it was made in the '70's, it's timeless. If you like William's Doll, pick up Free to be You and Me.
