Customer Reviews

Delightful stories to complement the Raggedy Ann series.

Raggedy Ann needed family, and along comes Raggedy Andy, her adorable brother. The books are the perfect accessory to the dolls I made for my sister-brother grandchildren. The stories are wholesome and sweet, just right for younger children. I heartily endorse these charming books.

Whimsical and delightful stories!

My children (now adults) were read these entrancing stories. Now my 3 yr old grandson chooses this book when I read to him. He now has his own book at home. I enjoy them as well. A "MUST" for one's library!!!

Raggedy Andy Stories

Wonderful Book! My grown son's name is Andrew (Andy) and i have always loved the raggedy andy series.

Memories!

As I turned the pages of this wonderful book, all of the illustrations came flooding back to my memory. I KNEW the pictures, even though I'd not laid eyes on them in over 30 years! The stories are poignant and the illustrations captivating. I loved my Raggedy Ann and her little brother very much and have passed this treasure on to a little boy that I love with all my "candy" heart.

Beloved Raggedy Andy Stories

I remember these stories being read to me as a little girl and I still find inspiration in them today! Raggedy Andy always kept pleasant thoughts and had a positive outlook on life. His philosophy: "You see how easy it is to pass over the little bumbs of life if we are happy on the inside". His stories are a great way to teach children virtues and values. There is a wonderful afterward in this book from Johnny Gruelle's grandson which shows what kind of a person he was, having a lot of Raggedy Andy's character traits.
