The Ticky-Tacky Doll

(3) PS Illustrated by Harvey Stevenson. When a little girl just starting school has to leave her beloved doll behind, she becomes sad and withdrawn. Her understanding grandmother makes her a (miniature) replica, "very small and ready to go to school." Rylant's quiet text, augmented by warm acrylic and crayon illustrations, perfectly captures the girl's strong attachment to her doll, her grief at being without it, and the security the new doll brings.
