SUMMARY- I made lots of cornhusk dolls as a kid growing up on a farm in the midwest, so this book had special appeal to me. I think my grandmother still has a pair of them tucked inside her china cabinet... The dolls are well done, but I particularly liked the accessories pages, where you are shown miscellaneous accessories like hats, brooms, buckets, umbrellas, etc., to add to your dolls and create scenes with them. There are also decorating suggestions and some instructions for making flowers that also impressed me. I know cornhusk dolls are a little off the beaten path of what this bibliography is about, but I like cornhusk dolls and thought it was pretty cool that they rated several books being dedicated to the subject - and that they were seriously and competently done!
