Publisher's Note Natasha isn't really a bad girl, she just doesn't like to wait. She's quite a handful for Babushka, her grandmother. So Babushka lets her play, just once, with a very special doll that once belonged to her--and Natasha discovers just how difficult a demanding child can be! Full color.
Industry Reviews In this vibrantly illustrated cautionary tale, a selfish girl becomes ``quite nice after all'' after learning a valuable lesson from a doll that comes to life. Ages 4-8. (Aug.) Bernstein
