These are non-sensical stories with whimsy and adventure. My kids loved it (as a read aloud)… I struggled to get through it. I won’t read it again, but thought it was worth reading through once.

As minhas leituras em Inglês têm andado paradas, por isso para as retomar decidi pegar em algo fácil e acessível à leitura, para treino.
Raggedy Ann é uma boneca feita de algodão suave que juntamente com os outros bonecos e brinquedos ganha vida assim que a sua criança desaparece. Têm início muitas aventuras com estes bonecos que ganham vida e que através das suas peripécias divertidas ensinam os valores às crianças.
Este livro compila várias histórias que nos lembram a nossa infância mas que já não nos atraem como naquela altura. Tudo tem o seu momento.

[Sorry for my bad English] For a children's book, it gives what children need and want. If you're older than 10, this book might not be suitable anymore.

It's so sad that I'm not below 8 anymore, so I kind of skipped to the end directly after halfway through the book. If I read it when I was 7, I probably would always reread it before going to bed!

Can you spell boring? I can! That's basically how this book reads, and so many words are repeated and the stories almost start to feel the same. Classic or not, I just could not finish it!
