Cambridge: Candlewick Press, 1998 SIGNED Sophie's doll, Rose, belonged to her mother when she was a little girl, and belonged to her grandmother before that. Sophie and Rose are always together. When the seam on Rose's arm is torn, Sophie nurses her back to health. When Sophie gets chocolate on Rose, the faint sweet smell becomes part of Rose. And each night when Sophie takes Rose to bed, she feels her familiar soft shape and knows she will always love her little Rose. This story celebrates the bond children have with their dolls and toys, and creates a wonderfully cozy and intimate world for their love. Unpaginated, each page is illustrated in color around the text. Signed by the illustrator on the title page, along with a small illustration under her signature. There are two small light depressions on the front of the glossy pictorial binding and the glossy dust jacket.
