WHAT IS IT?

The American Girl doll Maryellen has a soft cotton body, and her movable head and limbs are made of smooth vinyl. She has lifelike hazel eyes that open and close smoothly, and her realistic long strawberry-blonde hair is worn in a high ponytail with side-swept bangs. She comes in an authentic 1950s-style outfit.

This kit also includes a copy of the book, My Diary by Maryellen, written by Valerie Tripp. Maryellen Larkin is nine years old and longs to stand out, but in a family with five brothers and sisters it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle! A painting mishap gains her some attention, but not the kind she’s been longing for.
