Editorial Reviews:

Mrs. Goodbee's house is a special place where preschool-age girls can let their imaginations run wild, all the while learning some valuable lessons about caring, sharing and preparing. It's learning while you play! The interactive dollhouse virtually comes alive to talk, sing and play with girls -- and features over 400 activities, songs and sounds.

When you ring the doorbell, Mrs. Goodbee's eye pop open, her lips light up, and she transforms into a friendly charcter that guides girls through acts of caring, sharing and preparing for life-long responsibilites. As they play, she activates eight different "hot spots" throughout the house, such as the doorbell, the nursery cradle, the refrigerator, the boombox on the rooptop playgrund, the toilet and bathroom sink, the pet bed, and a special "Day and Night Window."

In addition, Mrs. Goodbee offers tons of play space with its unique, tri-fold design. It features 12 spacious rooms so two children can easily play together at the same time. Plus, there are special passageways in the mid-section that allow girls to share dolls and accessories with each other.

Another special feature is the Good Deeds Garden. Every time a child does a real-world good deed, she can take a sticker (included in the Parent Guide) and decorate the back of the Mrs. Goodbee dollhouse. Some stickers hide secret codes that unlock special games on CaringCorners.com, so she'll have hours of fun with online activities as well! Visit www.CaringCorners.com to play interactive learning games designed to encourage children to display positive social behaviors. Requires 3 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 24"L x 9"W x 16"H.

Summary: Nice but could be better
Comment: It is certainly a cute house and my granddaughter loves it. I am disappointed with it because it doesn't seem very sturdy for little girls to play with. The stickers don't stay on and the rooms aren't big enough for the furniture, even if the table benches were able to stand up without falling over while putting the dolls on them, the dolls are difficult for little hands to put them on the benches. It usually takes me a few times putting the dolls up to the table to keep everything from falling over. I think this being made for 3 year olds, things should be much more sturdy.

Summary: Amazing House
Comment: This is an amazing toy. My almost 5 year old got this for Christmas and we haven't stopped playing with it yet. The down side to this toy is all the accessories that go with it is sold seperatly. My friends daughters came over ages 5-8 and played with it for hours. So much to do and see with this house.

Summary: Not That Great Of A Dollhouse
Comment: I bought this dollhouse for my daughter for Christmas. She seems to realy enjoy the house but she gets frustrated. The Caring Corner furnature sets are not very sturdy and they don't stay on the floors very well. The TV and Chair constantly fall over. The bed slides around and falls off and the vanity is impossible to make stand up for any length of time. You should forget ever sitting the momma doll on the tiny stool in front of it. The front steps constantly pop off and so does the chimney. When you have it all set up straight its very flimsy and will fall over easily with a push.
In my opinion the dollhouse is not worth the high price and then when you buy the furnature that goes with it you have easily dropped over a hundred dollars into it. You can buy better made dollhouses for that amount of money.
The educational value is extremely limited too. I just don't feel my daughter gets much out of it. Yes, she does have fun with it but she will become easily frustrated with the furnature and the fact it tips easily.

Summary: This doll house is awesome!
Comment: My 3-yr old daughter loves the doll house. We also bought several of the accessories that go with it. The interactive messages are easy to understand and she has played with it for hours at a time. You can also fill the box with used clothes and toys and take to Goodwill. They thank your child and tell them how important it is to give back. They also get a certificate from Goodwill that allows them to play different games on the Learning Curve website. This is a great toy that helps re-enforce a good message.

Summary: Does Not Portray Breastfeeding as Normal
Comment: My children were given this doll house for Christmas. It is sturdy (except the chimney keeps falling off) and they are having a lot of fun playing with it. It would be a great toy with the expection of how it portrays bottle-feeding as normal. The dollhouse came with a baby with a bottle in it's hand. It is not removable unless you somehow cut it out. The dollhouse talks when you push the button, and one of the things it says is something along the lines of, "The baby is hungry. Go to the refrigerator and get the baby a bottle."

I realize that many families do bottle feed babies, and especially mothers who return to work will leave bottles of expressed milk for their babies. However, I would like to teach my children that feeding a baby at the breast is what is normal and this doll house does not teach this.
