The Wheat Doll

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. Mary Ann's "best friend," a doll filled with wheat, is swept away by a sudden storm. Her desolation turns to delight when, come spring, a doll-shaped patch of wheat grass appears, which Mary Ann harvests to make a new doll. The cyclical concept of the story is appealing. Large impressionistic oils, while varying little in tone, impart the feeling of a vast frontier.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
