My First Raggedy Ann: Raggedy Ann and the Birthday Surprise

32 pp. | Simon | May, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83136-6 $$15.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathryn Mitter. Raggedy Ann is planning a surprise birthday party for Raggedy Andy, and, while he is floating around hanging from a helium balloon, she makes her preparations. The story, based on Johnny Gruelle's characters, and the old-fashioned-looking illustrations are both pleasant enough but slight. This sentimental, nostalgic book will appeal most to collectors.
