"In November 1983, the world witnessed the beginnings of Cabbage Patch Madness, a Phenomenon unrivaled in intensity and impact in the annals of Americal Poplular Culture. Across the land, in virtually every major city, young adults, middle aged parents, even kindly grandmothers were risking life and limb, joining legions of unruly shoppers in their attempts to purchase one of Coleco's Cabbage Patch Kids, cuddly stuffed dolls many would call ugly...the face only a mother could love. The father of the Kids, Xavier Roberts, was a north Georgia mountain boy who rose from poverty to become an indispensible force for Coleco, a multi-million dollar titan in the toy and game industry." A wonderful and interesting book that would be hard to find just anywhere, especially signed. Add this one to your collection of signed books now! *4BC6

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun, Inspiring read,

This review is from: Fantasy: The Incredible Cabbage Patch Phenomenon (Hardcover)
I got this book being a Cabbage patch kid fan.I really enjoyed it. I was too young to remember the riots and craziness. I just remembered we couldn't find a doll where we lived and I had to wait until the madness died down. This book goes into how Xavier Roberts was a poor country boy from Georgia to become a successful with his wonderful dolls. It was very informative and inspiring. Showing how if you work hard your dreams can come true. There are also alot of interesting facts about doll history. A very good read.

They were "born" in the CABBAGE PATCH, for pete's sake....,
By Jill R. (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fantasy: The Incredible Cabbage Patch Phenomenon (Hardcover)
This was an interesting book, but I couldn't understand the complaints adopted people and birthmothers made about the "adoption papers" that come with the doll. The dolls, after all, were "born in the CABBAGE PATCH!" with Xavier Roberts and a partner of his listed as parents.
