The Surprise Doll
by Morrell Gipson

The Surprise Doll Cover

Powells.com Staff Pick

This was my favorite book as a little girl, and also my mother's favorite. Now I am able to read this reprint of the 1949 edition to my daughters. Mary's father brings her dolls from all over the world, and soon she has a doll for every day of the week except Sunday. Mary packs up her dolls and takes them to the local doll maker. After seven days, she picks up her new doll. What a surprise! I love the colorful yet simple illustrations and the message that America is a big melting pot.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Mary's father was a sea captain. He took long trips across the ocean in his ship. From her window Mary waved good-by when he sailed away, and she waved hello to him when came sailing back. Six times he came back with a doll for Mary, so she had six dolls from six different countries. One for each day of the week but Sunday. A dollmaker crafts a seventh doll for her and she must wait for seven days for her new doll to be finished. Oh, will it be a surprise!

Review:

"[Y]oung Mary, whose sea captain father has, over many journeys, given his daughter six dolls from all over the world. But Mary yearns for a seventh, so she'll have a doll for each day of the week. How she gets her 'Sunday doll' makes for gentle suspense." Publishers Weekly
