Little Kim's Doll

When four-year-old Kim, a Russian girl, walks past a toy store window and sees a very special porcelain doll -- one with blue eyes and braids the color of ripe wheat -- she wants her more than anything. But Kim's parents worry that a girl who plays with dolls won't grow up to be strong and brave. This delightful story tells how Kim's strength of conviction and inventiveness persuade her mother that, in this case, giving someone what she wants is the best thing to do.
