Gruelle's Snitznoodle character was introduced in Raggedy Ann in Cookieland
where he helps thwart Hookie-the-Goblin.
Of course, all this takes place while all the real-for-sure people were away from
home or fast aleep!
Raggedy Ann and Andy in CookieLand
His comical features and mysterious name, cause him to be one of the more desirable
of Gruelle's many storybook character dolls! He gives an added dimension to any collection.
You will simply fall in love with this unusual little character!!
When Raggedy Ann and Andy fall down a deep hole, they find themselves in a magical world called Cookie Land. There they meet Little Weakie, Hookie-the-Goblin, and Mr. and Mrs. Cookie and their two cookie children.
It's the Cookie family who award bravery medals to the Raggedys after they save them from one of Hookie's sneak attacks.
Then Hookie brings along his friend the Snitznoodle to help him capture the Raggedys, but Snitznoodles don't mess with dolls wearing bravery medals, no siree.
Don't worry, though, the Raggedys find a way to make everyone friends and as always, it's a Raggedy-good time in Cookie Land.
Delight in the scrumptious adventures of the ever-lovable Raggedys in another of Johnny Gruelle's wondrous storybooks.
Full of funny, curious, and "kookie" creatures, this delectable Raggedy Ann classic will have you chuckling with every turn of the page.
First published in 1931 and restored to its original condition, Raggedy Ann in Cookie Land, now back in print, is a treat for all ages.
| Here's My "Original Design " Snitznoodle Doll.....
Raggedy Ann and Andy in CookieLand
He comes dressed in an adorable little brown suit,
has large white gloved hands;a brown fabric stuffed nose;and large blue embroidered eyes,
with heavy dark brown yarn eyebrows. His hair is brown yarn, topped with a cute little brown hat
with brown/white checked brim and a little brown yarn ball on top;
His short brown jacket with "pointed" lapel, covers his checked, long sleeved shirt
with white peter pan collar.
He has matching checked socks,
and brown shoes with big white fabric buckles.
His brown trousers are accented with two large white buttons
(on his fat little tummy), and small white buttons on each "cuffed" leg.
A mauve colored "tie" adds the final touch!
He is a real charmer and is fast becoming a very sought after character doll !
He is made of quality muslin, his facial features are hand-embroidered, and his brown yarn hair
is hand-stitched piece by piece.
He has side-facing legs with the traditional red/white stripes and brown/white checked socks.
Each of my dolls, take on a personality of their own as I add the finishing touches.....
.
therefore, each will add that one-of-a-kind distinction to your collection!
