Goodreads review by Gina

Sweet and cozy book! Raggedy Ann has been a part of my life since I was born, thanks to my Great Aunt Roberta who sewed me my first doll. I loved listening to the Raggedy Ann Stories as I was growing up and they are just as comforting and lovely now as they were then. ☺️💕......more
