Editorial Reviews

One of last year's pleasant surprises was that rarity - a photographic story about a doll with avoided the banal and the overcute, Dare Wright's "The Lonely Doll." Now that poppet, Edith, no longer lonely, explores the sandy beaches, the wharves and even a wild pony corral on Ocracoke Island off North Carolina. Of course, Mr. Bear, still wise and careful, goes along and so does Little Bear, who is neither wise nor careful. Indeed it is Little Bear's obstinate determination to go rowing, in defiance of Mr. Bear's warnings, that leads Edith into a really scary adventure--one that holds meaning for any child who cannot resist "messing about in boats." In an out-door setting, Edith looks just a little more artificial than in the first book, but she is still saucy and beguiling, and all three toys move through a more substantial story with great aplomb. - New York Times - September 7, 1958
