"The Honest-to-Goodness Story of Raggedy Andy" is Patty and Joni’s second Raggedy collaboration. As it turned out, Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, and the countless books, songs, and toys featuring them were the perfect diversions for a public weary from World War I, and they continue to be a source of joy for young people, collectors, and fans worldwide. So Daddy (and Santa!) came to the rescue with the charming and rascally Raggedy Andy. But the boys felt that Raggedy Ann was lonely and needed a brother. When they flew kites, Raggedy Ann was there when they read books, she was there and even when they played pirates, Raggedy Ann was along for the fun. Johnny also had two sons, Worth and Dickie, who included Raggedy Ann in all their games. Made from one of his mother’s old dolls and scraps of fabric around the house, the doll became known to the world as Raggedy Ann. Long ago, Johnny Gruelle was a dedicated father who created a doll as a gift to his daughter Marcella. Based on historical accounts (and just in time for Andy’s eighty-fifth birthday!) this picture book will acquaint young readers with how the world’s most beloved boy doll came to be. "The Honest-To-Goodness Story of Raggedy Andy" tells the delightful story of how Raggedy Andy joined his older sister, Raggedy Ann.
