Review

A sweet old-fashioned story of a beautiful antique doll who is lonely and wants nothing more than to be played with and loved. A little girl who admires the doll every day on her way back and forth to school, dreams of owning the antique doll. This is very unlikely however, because the little girl is poor. Through a twist of fate, the girl and the beautiful doll are reunited in a satisfying finish.

Originally published in the 1950's, this timeless story should appeal to doll lovers of any generation.

Also included is a small version of the story that is just the right size for the reader's doll.

Overall Book Score: excellent
