School Backpack (2011 - )

[Aaryana]

From the AG site:

School Backpack Set for Dolls
Item# V6015
My American Girl® dolls can get set for school with everything here:
A plaid notebook with lined pages
A mini science textbook with dolphins on the cover
Three pretend mechanical pencils
A faux water bottle with pretty graphics
A backpack with a plaid pocket and an Innerstar University™ crest
$28

The first thing I thought when I saw this was "Finally, a science book!" Being a scientist myself, I've always wanted to add a science book to the wee math books I have collected for my dolls. Anyway, this is a great set! The science book is hardback and adorable. The notebook is a typical AG notebook. I'm not sure why it has holes in it though. Perhaps a binder set will be available in the future? The MyAG meet accessories include the binder. The backpack is huge, so there is certainly room for a binder or for use as an overnight bag. It is made of a decent weight nylon, with a real pocket in front (closes with velcro) and a real zipper pocket on the inside (made of mesh). The wee mechanical pencils are awesome! They are faux, but very cute. The bottle is a typical AG water bottle. Food and school supplies are my two dolly weaknesses! Grade: A+

I just got this set and while I like it and am quite happy with it, I was a little dissapointed in the fabric. It is different than other AG backpacks. This one is more lightweight, similar to a windbreaker material whereas the previous 2 were made from the same heavy weight material as a good quality backpack. Because of this I find when the back pack is empty it looks kind of flat and loses some of it's shape. Overall I would still give the set an A-.It is cute and the water bottle is adorable.
