Books with title Rag Doll Tales

The night was cold, as cold as her feelings. A young slave mother named Mabel sewed all night. Her candlelight creation yielded a crude Rag Doll, a gift for her youngest daughter, Natty. She knew when the sun rose, she would see her child for the last time. Her heart was heavy. She named the doll Eugene, the name of Natty's father. This way, she thought, the child would always remember her roots. As the wagon drifted out of sight the young child said, "Her name is Eugene Mamma Mabel" - a remembrance of both her parents. Thus began the story of a Rag Doll named Eugene, and the legacy of a family from slavery through civil rights.

Donnie the dolly lives in Erica’s bedroom and is best friends with Tedric the teddy bear who also lives in Erica’s bedroom. Both Donnie and Tedric get on well with the other toys and they are not like “normal” toys, teddy bears and dolls at all, because, you see, they can walk and talk all by themselves – something that their owner, Erica is fully aware of. She’s always known that they can do this and actually likes it a lot. She talks to them and plays with them and just had fun with them, really. The toys, teddy bears and dolls all have fun too and love spending time with Erica. One thing that they do not love, however, is when she has to go off to school during the weekdays and leave them alone in her bedroom. They all get bored after a while and really start to miss her. 'Dolly Tales' by Lauren Abby is suitable for children aged 2-5 years.
