Plot of the One and Only (From Back of Book)

 

"Maryellen wants to stand out, but with five brothers and sisters, it's not so easy. Giving herself a haircut doesn't go quite the way she expects—and when she draws a cartoon of her teacher on the first day of fourth grade, she draws more attention than she wants! At least her drawing skills help her make an interesting new friend. Together they might be able to win the geography bee—but only if Maryellen can find a way to make her old friends overcome their prejudice. The One and Only, the first volume of the Maryellen's stories about growing up in the 1950s, tells how Maryellen learns to standout and be her own person."

Taking Off: A Maryellen Classic 2

Plot of Taking Off (From Back of Book)

"Maryellen has big plans for her birthday, and she's glad when her old pal Davy shows up to help. If only Wayne the Pain would buzz off—but he's stuck to Davy like glue. Maybe her sister Joan was right when she said girls can't be friends with boys in fourth grade. Then, on a family vacation, Maryellen finds out that Joan's not so sure about her own plans. One thing's clear: If Maryellen's going to invent a flying machine, become famous, and get Joan's wedding off the ground, she'll need all the help—and all the friends—she can get. In Taking Off, the second volume of Maryellen's classic stories about growing up in the 1950s, Maryellen's hopes, dreams, and ambitions soar—and she's determined that nothing will stop her from flying high."

         

"Samantha's Bicycling Outfit" Review

Here is my review of the American Girl outfit, "Samantha's Bicycling Outfit." I received this set for Christmas, and really enjoy the details included within each piece of the set. The colors are just adorable!

The white eyelet blouse is very simple, yet elegant. The long sleeves have a puffy shoulder, giving a cute and young look. I especially love the blue ribbon on the neckline since it adds a nice pop of color to the shirt. Below the neckline are multiple flowers and ribbon designs sewn ranging from blue colors to pinks and greens. The embroidery is just absolutely gorgeous and elegant, and really is nice quality. At the bottom of the shirt is blue ribbon stretching from both sides, and gathered fabric.

The bloomers are a mix of gray and blue and have a checkered print throughout. The bloomers match the shirt well since the shirt has the blue ribbon. The bloomers definitely add a sense of pattern and difference.

The set also comes with black gaiters with pink buttons. The buttons do not button, but are merely just for decoration. If you did not know this, the gaiters are NOT the footwear themselves, but go over the boots or shoes which do not come with the set. To get the gaiters over the footwear, there is Velcro in the back.

A bubblegum pink bow is included too. The bow has a white elastic in the back to put into your doll's hair.

The hat is made of straw and has a beige color. Around the hat is a blue ribbon which I think, really completes the hat since it gives more detail and a splash of color so that the hat isn't too drab.

Overall, I love this outfit because it has so many beautiful colors that really match well with one another. The hat is too cute, and the shirt is a favorite of mine. I definitely will use this set A LOT!
