“American Girl celebrates a girl’s inner star – the little whisper inside that encourages her to stand tall, reach high and dream big. We take pride and care in helping girls become their very best today so they’ll grow up to be the woman to make a difference tomorrow.” by American Girl.
“First of all, they are not “baby” dolls. These dolls are more like your young daughter’s little friends. There are many dolls available so girls can choose one that looks like them or choose a character that they related to most. ” by Viewpoints.
“American Girl dolls are the type of toy that can become an heirloom for a child that she can pass down to her daughter. You can either buy a doll with its history already created or you can create a doll that looks like the person you are buying it for. They are on the expensive side, costing almost $100 for the doll not counting the different outfits and accessories you can get her.” by Helium.
