This is the sweetest book written and illustrated by veteran writer and Caldecott award winner Tasha Tudor. She is known for her charming illustrations of animals, children, flowers, and corgis. Annabelle is grandmother's old fashioned doll. She has possessions that start with each letter of the alphabet....a veil, a quilt, a locket. Every grandmother should have a copy of this book and an old doll that she once played with.
