Article makes no assertion as to the notability of this book, and an Internet search does not indicate any awards or unusual recognition. I can't find any indication that it has received the level of attention necessary to make it stand out from any other children's book. Notability can't be inherited from the author or from the illustrator-- the book has to stand on its own, and as near as I can tell, it does not do this. KDS4444Talk 04:23, 14 July 2014 (UTC)reply
Comment. I am finding some information for the book, such as it being listed
here as a recommended read for children.

There's also some evidence that it was/is being used in the classroom as well:

Keep. It took some serious, serious digging to find a lot of these sources, but I've found enough to show that the book passes notability guidelines. It's listed as a recommended/summer read for a lot of classrooms (
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6],
[7]) and I've found some coverage for the animated special. There's a stage production as well, but I'm not entirely going to count that towards notability since all I can find is a routine notification. I included that in the article, but really just as a small trivial detail than anything else. It seems to get mentioned quite frequently in various "you should read this during the holidays" articles and given a mini review. There's also a Publishers Weekly review, but I'm trying to find a better link to it than the one I have. That it was
mentioned in a 2013 NYPL panel on dolls in literature says a lot for its notability.
