K-3My First Raggedy Ann series.
Illustrated by
Jan Palmer.
Pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations of old-fashioned scenes accompany these large-sized picture-book adaptations of Gruelle's original stories. In Candy Heart, Raggedy Ann flies from the tail of a kite, falls in a bucket of paint, and is cleaned up by a friendly house painter; in Wrinkled Knees, Raggedy Ann and Andy save their friend Babette from pirates. Both stories are sentimental but may have appeal for collectors.
