This review is from: Teach-A-Tot Doll - African American Girl (Toy)
I bought it as a gift for a 4-year-old and she loved it. She could figure out how to make it talk easier than I could. Due to research about racial impressions of young children which leads to a perpetuation of racism in our society, I would recommend the African American doll for all children. I bought it for a white child and no one made a comment about it at her large family birthday party and I never heard that there was a problem (we live in an integrated community). The coloring and hair of the doll could pass for many brown-skinned ethnicities, such as Latina/Hispanic or Native American.
