Babushka's Doll
ISBN 0689802552

The Story

Babushka's doll was special. She had played with it only once, when she was a little girl like her high-spirited granddaughter, Natasha.

Now Babushka is going to the store and it's Natasha's turn to take the little doll down from the high shelf. When the naughty doll comes to life -- and is even more rambunctious than the little girl herself -- Natasha finds out why playing once with Babushka's doll is enough!

Patricia Polacco's beautiful illustrations capture the warmth, humor, and timeless spirit of her magical tale.
