Illustrated by
Vladimir Radunsky.
Guthrie's playfully repetitive song describes the experiences and virtues of a Dolly. Radunsky's energetic collage illustrations show a cat, a dog, and a doll acting out the song. The last few pages include words and drawings by children and incorporate photos of two old handmade dolls labeled "Vladimir's Lady Elephant" and "Vladimir's Baldy Doll." The total experience is joyfully bizarre and in keeping with Guthrie's sensibility.
