The set included a commitment from Mattel that one dollar from each purchase would go to Reading Is Fundamental, Inc., making this one of the earlier examples of a toy tie-in with a children's literacy charity. The reading games insert inside the box extended the educational angle further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three-doll format at two scales — Barbie at standard size alongside the smaller friends — gives the Love-to-Read set an unusual display configuration compared to a standard single-doll release. The literacy tie-in was a genuine partnership with one of America's most established children's reading charities, founded in 1966 and still operating today, which gives this 1992 set a social context that makes it more interesting than most retail exclusives of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please note: Plastic has slight yellowing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malaysia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10507\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelody Likes box condition grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/MelodyLikes-Doll-Box-Condition-Guide_05303af8-20b2-4137-8091-87f3c51d9668.png?v=1773150063\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView our box condition guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mattel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47643715371198,"sku":"BARBIE-1992-LOVE-TO--DLGFT0001","price":167.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1992-barbie-love-to-read-doll-giftset-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1781573506","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1992-barbie-love-to-read-doll-giftset-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
