I love childrens books, and books about dolls are even more of a treat.  I had some books on my Christmas list and received them all!

I think The Best Loved Doll by Rebecca Caudill is my favorite of the bunch, but I love them all.  I may have read this book as a child, but I am not sure.

Kitty’s New Doll by Dorothy Kunhardt is a sweet story featuring cats as the main characters.  I love the colorful watercolor-like illustrations.

In the end Kitty picked the most simple doll that would lead to the imaginative play.

The Lonely Doll by Dare Wright has actual photographs of a doll and teddy bears in different settings.  Two of my blog readers mentioned this book last year and the photos sparked a memory, so I put it on my wish list.

This doll must be quite large because the props look like full scale pieces.

And, lastly is The Magic Nesting Doll by  Jacqueline K. Ogburn.  Laurel Long’s beautiful illustrations make this fairy tale about nesting dolls magical.

Do you like doll books and if so, what are your favorites?

Bye for now!
