Review by Horn Book Review

These reformatted books, filled with child-pleasing details, are unfortunately products of their time. They contain stereotypes galore, such as gender roles set in stone: women are nurses or "mommies," and men are, well, everything else. World features not-funny names of Asian characters (Ah-Choo of Hong Kong; Hunki Dori of Tokyo), and one adventure takes place in unspecified "Africa."
