Book Guide

One morning Charlotte gets a package from her Aunt Edme. Inside is a delicate doll. Charlotte has never wanted a doll, and she certainly doesn't want this one. 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. You'll just have to get used to the way we do things."

Much to Charlotte and Bruno's surprise, Dahlia doesn't seem to mind. What's more, she seems to like getting dirty while making mud cakes and racing wagons. But at the end of the day, Charlotte's aunt arrives for a visit and wants to see how Dahlia's doing . . . and Charlotte is in for another surprise.
