All Fanny wants in the world is a Connie doll, but Mom says 'NO!'

But no one ever said she couldn't MAKE one instead! With some scissors, glue and her craft box in hand, Fanny sets out to replicate Connie, but it's Annabelle who is the result of her efforts. A little lopsided and a little unkempt, Annabelle turns out to be the companion Fanny has always wanted. Though at first her friends turn up their noses, in the end everyone learns that using your imagination and working with your own two hands can result in the best toy of all!
