It was fun to read this story about Barbie's Christmas Hawaiian vacation. Very dated, set in the 60's.

This was on a shelf as a decoration among other “semi-antiques” so I decided to read it. It actually didn’t seem as outdated as I expected it to be. Kind of cute in a 1960s way.

I thought this would be awful, but it wasn't so bad. It wasn't amazing or anything, but it had its interesting moments, and I appreciated all the information about Hawaiian culture and history.
