little golden book ~ raggedy ann & fido

another little golden book ~

raggedy ann & fido ~

from 1974 ~

it's bedtime & raggedy ann & andy can't find fido ~

so they head out with the other dolls to look for him ~

this 70s style of raggedy ann is the kind toxic remembers most ~

it seems fido loves chasing cats ~

i like the feisty kitties in this story like old tiger tail ~

& the beautiful illustrations by rochelle boonshaft ~
