American Girl Emily Doll and Paperback Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought this doll for my granddaughter from the American Girl site for $114, and that included her accessories which are not offered here.
The doll is very cute as are all the AG dolls, but I find it outrageous that an available doll is being offered on Amazon for almost twice the price you can get from the manufacturer! People might see the listing and conclude that it costs even more elsewhere, which is just not true.

American Girl Rebecca Doll and Paperback Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter received this as a Christmas present from our close friends and she absolutely loves the doll and the book! Yes, the dolls are prohibitively expensive, but my friend was actually able to get the doll and paperback book for less than what is stated here. It pays to shop around for the best prices. Rebecca Rubin is an interesting character for a doll - she is Jewish in origin and I found it refreshing because my daughter was able to learn about Rebecca's Jewish heritage and also the festival she celebrates which is Hanukkah, something my daughter was unfamiliar with (she is almost 5 years old). The doll itself is of great quality - the plastic is durable and not as skimpy in design as some of the Barbie dolls - I believe you get what you pay for, and the quality of the doll here is very good. Rebecca has a beautiful outfit in burgundy with nicely-detailed boots, pantaloons, and black tights - all of which can be removed easily. There are many accessories that can be purchased separately for the doll, including play sets. The paperback book that comes with this doll gives interesting details about Rebecca's Jewish heritage and her life, and would be a wonderful book to read together with a young child, or for an independent reader to enjoy. Judging by my daughter's reaction, she will love this doll for a long time to come (and I plan to preserve it for her as a collectible too).
