You all know how much we adore American Girl around here, and we are absolutely loving that American Girl now has a character and storyline from the 1950's!
Maryellen's line is fairly extensive and offers up a gorgeous 18" doll, corresponding period specific accessories & outfits (for dolls and girls), play sets (we LOVE Maryellen's Dinner Set - it's sure to be a HOT wish list item this Holiday season) , a 3 book series, and MORE!
Get an up-close look at the beautiful 18" Maryellen doll + some of her outfits & accessories below. Also, enter our giveaway to WIN an American Girl 18" Maryellen doll + book set [RV $115!]
In addition to oohing and ahhing over the doll and accessories, we are also LOVING Maryellen's story! My daughter just finished reading the first book in her series, titled "The One and Only," and she really enjoyed it. The book introduces young readers to Maryellen's character. She's nine years old, and resides in Florida with her 5 siblings and her parents. With such a big family, Maryellen longs to stand out from the crowd, and her cheerful fun go-getter disposition definitely helps! Though things don't always go as she plans, her great attitude helps her persevere. As a mom, I love the great message this book sends to young girls. We can't wait to read the next story in her series, Taking off: A Maryellen Classic 2!
I think that Maryellen's fun and sweet storyline will also serve as a great conversation starter for young girls and grandparents. Think about it: many young girls today have grandmothers and grandfathers from this generation. So this is a fun way for them to connect to that time period and get a sense of how their grandparents grew up.
