Looks can be deceiving! When Charlotte gets a delicate doll from her aunt Edme, she is not too happy. She tells the doll that she and Bruno, her bear, "like digging in dirt and climbing trees. No tea parties, no being pushed around in frilly prams. Youll just have to get used to the way we do things." Much to Charlotte and Brunos surprise, Dahlia seems to like getting dirty while making mud cakes and racing wagons. But at the end of the day, Charlottes aunt arrives for a visit and wants to see how Dahlias doing . . . and Charlotte is in for another surprise. Charming, detailed illustrations accompany this sweet story about making room for a new friend.
