I can't decide if it's cute and sweet, or kinda creepy. Maybe a bit of both.

This historical fiction picture book has exquisite illustrations and a fun twist ending. It will appeal to both children and adults who can relate to loving dolls and spending lots of time outdoors, regardless whether or not they would have shared the main character's initial skepticism about the doll.

A book for little girls like I was: constantly in dresses, and climbing trees playing at Robin Hood.
Delightful and surprising.

The illustrations are wonderful and the story, although not lyrically written, is solid. Also, I am a sucker for any story with a teddy bear named Bruno.

Loved the imaginary play pictured and put in the story. Something kids could do more of, and perhaps this story would help spur their imaginations. Loved the twist at the end of the aunt happy about how the doll turned out.

I have spent the last few years searching regularly online for this book I read whilst in elementary school. I didn't remember the author or the title just the pictures and the story. You can imagine my delight when I find it on Goodreads by random chance! I'm so happy and perhaps I can find it at a library to read it again.
