Tammy; Little Golden Activity Book #A52


Here is the book that Naomi gave me. It is a little story about Tammy and Pepper going for a nature walk where Tammy has many mishaps. In the back of the book are Tammy and Pepper paper dolls and outfits. The dolls are two sided, there is both front and back views of them so they can be pasted onto either side of a piece of cardboard.

Tammy has many mishaps

I think that the illustrations are very nice and Mom and Tammy do resemble the dolls. The paper dolls are also very nice and there is a good number of outfits to dress them in. I won’t be cutting mine out however.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  5. I saw it on-line thinking I’ll never win that, but then I did..and the best part in it won’t come from my doll budget but my book budget! I love that I can put it next to my Barbie golden book.I wish they did a Sindy one!

    • I am pretty sure there were some Sindy story books. I think that Jenjoy’s All Dolled Up had an article about them some months ago. Probably not Little Golden Books but nice stories just the same.

  6. I’ll be heading some more of my books money to getting an other copy of this one, the seller was the orig. owner but all the paper dolls were torn out. I may see what Tammy/Sindy/clone paper doll books might be out there.
