Includes 10 short stories with colorful illustrations
This is to let potential buyers know of the contents of this book, since at the time of this review there was no mention of which stories were included, or even how many.
The first page of the book includes a table of contents. There are ten short stories within:
01. How Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy Came to Marcella's House
02. The Nursery Dance
03. Raggedy Ann Learns a Lesson
04. Raggedy Ann and the Painter (the story where Ann gets her candy heart)
05. Doctor Raggedy Andy
06. Raggedy Ann's Trip on the River
07. The Taffy Pull
08. Raggedy Ann and the Strange Dolls
09. Raggedy Ann's New Sisters
10. The Singing Shell
Each story begins with a full two-page spread containing a full page color illustration on the left; and on the right, the title of the story with a smaller illustration beneath it.
Each story is about 4-7 pages long, with illustrations approximately every other page. I counted only four places in the book where there was not a picture on either the left or the right side, just text.
All in all, I am quite satisfied I made the perfect purchase to introduce my daughter to the stories behind the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls she just received for Christmas.
