5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Childhood Book! March 31, 2002
Format:Paperback
I still have the 1962 paperback edition and the pages are so brittle. I get all choked up reading it to my own daughter now, as I used to when my mother read it to me. It is 30 pages and tells the tender story of a girl named Betsy and her decision to bring her Best-Loved doll to a party. It is a doll that has seen better days. She had many other choices, but she followed her heart. Moral: True beauty is on the inside. I treasure this book as much as Betsy does her doll.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the most endearing childs book I've ever read. June 13, 1998
By A Customer
Format:Turtleback
This book is about a girl named Betsy who took her doll to a party. All the other girls at the party had nicer or prettier dolls, but it didn't matter to Betsy. She loved her doll more than the other girls. She didn't care that her doll wasn't the prettiest, or the best dressed. A very beautiful and heartfelt story.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best-Loved Doll February 20, 2001
Format:Paperback
I had no idea so many other people had read this book as a child! I have a daughter now and couldn't find my original copy, which I know is buried somewhere in my basement. I was thrilled when I found the listing. Seeing the front cover again brought tears to my eyes. I love this book and can't wait to share it with my little girl!
