A few months ago, my son, husband, and I read a neat book- it’s called “Raggedy Andy Stories”. I wasn’t sure how Little would like it- it was, after all, about a doll- but he really loved the book. It was a large book, with lots of different stories in it, the hero being Raggedy Andy.

“All the original stories are here, as Raggedy Andy arrives in the mail at Marcella’s father’s office, displays his cheery smile, and is eagerly reunited with his sister, Raggedy Ann. After a warm welcome from the other dolls, Raggedy Andy adds to their fun with a dance, a pillow fight, and a taffy pull. His merry escapades frequently show his generosity in helping others, as he bravely ventures into the gutter to find the penny dolls, “cures” the French doll, and encourages the wooden horse. Other stories also include Raggedy Andy and the other dolls’ encounters with the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, and a beautiful seashell.”

I loved Raggedy Ann and Andy as a kid, so it is pretty neat that he does, too. I immediately fished out my old Raggedy Anns for him to play with, but I could not find Andy for anything. He was really, really bummed out. A few days later, we went to The National Museum Of Play in New York State- also the home to the toy hall of fame. Who was in in? You got it- the siblings. He wanted a Raggedy Andy so badly- but there were none in the store. Only a set of Ann and Andy. He was pleasantly surprised (as was I!) when we got home- because there was a box with an Andy in it!

Can you tell he was a little bit happy? LOL. To add to his joy, there was a puppy in the box as well, from the new Miyoni collection. What could be better then that?

The Miyoni Golden Lab is really a cool looking toy- very realistic for an inexpensive plush toy, and so soft and cute. ($15, ages 18+ months): Aurora’s beautiful new Miyoni collection features the world’s most popular jungle and domestic animals (each animal is available in three sizes). The realistic styles with soft huggable bodies make Miyoni a great “first pet” for kids. The very cuddly plush features superior materials and impeccable attention to detail.
