But Betsy chooses to bring Jennifer, a doll of a different sort--with her tangled hair and patched cheeks, she's Betsy's best-loved doll.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Newbery and Caldecott Honor-winning children's author Rebecca Caudill tells the timeless and charming story of the special relationship between a girl and her doll in <i>The Best-Loved Doll</i>, featuring illustrations by Elliott Gilbert. </b> <p/>Betsy receives an invitation to a party requiring her to bring a guest--one of her dolls--for a chance to win a prize or two in several "best of" categories. <p/>But while many of her dolls are prettier to look at, wear fancier clothes, and are capable of doing things, Betsy cherishes Jennifer most of all. Her hair may be a bird's nest, she may wear drab, plain clothes, and her face may not have the most beautiful complexion, but Jennifer is Betsy's very best friend--the doll she loves the most.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A grand story for little girls." --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rebecca Caudill </b>(1899-1985) was the author of more than twenty books for children, including <i>The Best-Loved Doll </i>and <i>A Certain Small Shepherd</i>.
