I searched this information about the 'Camel' book..."According to Gruelle, the idea for a camel character came from a cloth toy purchased for his children. When Gruelle removed dangerously sharp leg skewers and plopped the stuffed camel down on a table, its knees crumpled and a new character was born."

Raggedy Andy was my favorite doll when I was little. He went everywhere with me. His fabric eventually disintegrated, but I still have a tiny little piece of his face in a little box of childhood treasures.

The story behind it is so sad and touching too - I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a beloved child at such a young age. Some characters have enduring appeal and Raggedy Ann is definitely one of them.<br /><br />I had a look at your Pinterest page - of the three illustrations you chose from my Proud Rose post I nearly didn't include the one with my name scrawled on it! It just goes to show I shouldn't make decisions about what I think someone else will/won't like!sharonssunlitmemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817837936506262964noreply@blogger.com
