4)
The Raggedy Ann & Andy Family Album
Susan Garrison wrote this book in 1989 and it does resemble a family album with the way most of the collectibles are shown. Many of the pictures
are little vignettes, e.g. dolls sitting in chairs, shown outdoors and having a tea party. But this does
not take too much away from the collectibles pictured, the images are still good for references.
