Editorial Review
This 15-inch soft, stuffed Madeline will appeal to younger girls who might have trouble dressing the smaller, 8-inch Madeline doll. The larger Madeline is made of flesh-toned cotton with embroidered facial features, and dark red yarn hair. She's wearing her traditional outfit from the books, with the exception of her dress having a Velcro back closure. Over her dress, Madeline wears her favorite blue felt coat, which has big, shiny black buttons that little girls can handle themselves. Her outfit is completed with white tights, nonremovable white socks, and black felt shoes. The top collar of her coat is inconveniently sewn shut with a few tightly sewn threads, which can be carefully removed by an adult. Madeline's hat is also sewn loosely to her head and can be removed easily. --Marcie Bovetz

A consistent favoriteThursday, December 30, 2004
We bought the Nona 15 rag doll friend of Madeline for our then 3 year old daughter last Christmas. This year we had to add outfits and accessories. The doll is a favorite that gets tucked in almost every night. The soft body makes her easy for little hands to dress, change outfits, and snuggle with. Some of the smaller items like the little shoes or gloves may need some adult help to be put on. The outfits are very well made and durable. Overall I am really pleased with how well this toy has held up and held interest.

Cute, Huggable, and Great for Motor SkillsSaturday, June 21, 2003
This soft doll is a great introduction to dolls for a toddler. The clothes you can buy for it are adorable, and my 3-year old niece loves changing her clothes for every occasion.
The doll is big enough that young hands can handle taking the clothes on and off. If your youngster already has the Madeline books or video, then she will enjoy the doll even more.
The face on this doll is very appealing, and there are no hard edges to detract from its "huggableness."
I was impressed with the quality of the clothes sets. My niece may be too young to appreciate the detail of the ribbon flowers on the tea dress or the ribbon trim on the ballerina dress, but I'm not!

Cute...Monday, June 10, 2002
It is a cute little doll, but I liked it more than my daughter. She was scared of it. :o) We are hoping that she warms up to it when she gets a little older. For now it is on a shelf in her closet.

Too small to be "dressable"Thursday, December 27, 2001
The proportions of the fasteners of this doll's clothing are too small for a child learning how to dress dolls. This doll needed at least 5 more inches in height and 3-4 inches in width to be categorized as dressable. As she is now, she's hugable for a 1-2 year old child.
