'Hello, I'm Raggedy Ann. Welcome to my world. I'm going to tell you about myself
and this book. Some grown-ups think I'm just another rag doll with floppy arms
and legs who has been nibbled by the mice but they are wrong. When the other
toys and I are left alone we get up to all sorts of games and adventures. Once I
nearly got boiled to bits in the washing machine. Then I had fun with the
kittens and the puppy. But best of all, one day Marcella's daddy brought home a
package with another rag doll in it. They called him Raggedy Andy.
