This book would have given me nightmares as a kid. The pictures in this are creepy, and that doll is scary. The last page has the doll with a creepy smirk next to a sleeping girl while the doll looks at the puppy.
Niether my daughter nor I liked this book. It's about a doll who is jealous of her girl's new puppy. The last picture of the book shows the doll in bed with the girl, giving a truly creepy smirk to the puppy.
