I loved my American Girl dolls as a kid. Buy a historic doll, and get the books that go with it. If you can find the first edition books, they have a nonfiction chapter at the end of each book. Very fun, while also being educational.You could also buy a Target doll and dress her in AG clothing to match the book series you want to buy. They don’t look *that* different.

They do still make Wellie Wishers, but the latest reviews have been very bad. Legs are popping off during normal play. AG seems to be replacing the dolls, but I'd hold off until they fix whatever the manufacturing issue is.

DD also likes Corolle baby dolls, her AG Bitty Baby, Our Generations, Barbies, and LOLs. She’s not picky.


My 7 DD also will mix her knockoff Target dolls with her stuffed animals, Barbies and random amazon boxes for them all to live in.

I'd buy an American Girl doll, either a Wellie Wisher or a regular AG, a Target Our Generation doll, if AG wasn't in my budget, or a Heart For Hearts doll.

I just bought my daughter 2 "global dolls" from World Market. They are like rag dolls. $19 each. Very cute and cuddely. Well-made, too. They come in boxes, and there are about 5 variations (Asian, caucasian, etc.)

My DD now 13, has always loved baby dolls. Her favorite was (and is) a darling baby boy doll (only because he was dressed as such) that has a soft cloth body. She enjoyed dressing him in preemie baby clothes and diapers. Spent hours packing a diaper bag and imaginative play. Bueringer doll.
