Lindsey's scooter is a fabulous toy and stood up to a lot of play by my kids.

Lindsey was definitely ahead of her time back in 2001 with her own laptop! Here it is in 2018 and my Lindsey's laptop still turns on (and it says the date is 2002, LOL!) Here is Lindsey wearing the bag: And here she is working on her homework: Grade: A

I love my Lindsey doll! I bought her second hand in 2003 and subsequently sent her in for a head replacement (she now has a zip tie instead of neck strings). She's also a fun part of AG history. I think her meet outfit is really cute. I didn't really care for the book, so my Lindsey has her own personality.

This outfit sold for $16 or $28 as a dressed bear. I am missing the sunglasses that came with it.

I love how the 18" doll, Miss AG Bear, and Mini Miss AG Bear all have this same outfit!

Miss AG Bear could not be any cuter than in this outfit!

I have the Pajamas outfit for my Miss AG Bear and she wears it every Christmastime. It's silky and absolutely adorable.

Miss AG Bear is a cutie! Mine came from eBay wearing her athletic outfit, which is why she has imprints in her fur. When I was a little girl I didn't like dolls all that much but I loved my stuffed animals. I would have adored this high-quality teddy bear if she had been around back then.

In the 1940s, tennis was considered a healthy form of exercise for girls and boys. You can help Molly practice her backhand! First, dress her in a sporty three-piece ensemble of cool, striped cotton chambray: a camp-style blouse, shorts, and a flared overskirt. Tie her red tennis shoes on tight, and tie her braids on top her head with a striped ribbon so she’s ready to play.
Molly’s tennis racket comes with a monogrammed cloth cover—there’s a pocket on the outside to hold her tennis ball.
MLO $28.00 Limited Edition 1997
Molly's tennis outfit is hard to find, especially with all the pieces, but adorable!
Grade: A
This is a really cute set for Molly! I don't have the white tennis ball. I also use the shorts under Molly's Hula Skirt for Halloween. The wood racket is nice but the wrap is coming off the grip on mine. The picture shows white ankle socks but mine didn't come with them and the catalog description doesn't mention them.

I think this may be my favorite AG outfit of all time. A+ perfection!

Molly's school desk is a faithful reproduction of one from her period. Sturdy and great materials. Grade A

The tent doesn't come out often, but it made a nice prop for the Camp Gowonagin picture story.
Grade B

Molly looks adorable in this outfit! A+
We actually own three of the outfit so that Susan and Linda can join Molly at Camp Gowonagin.

I love how classic Molly's school outfit is. A+
Mine is missing the green ribbons, but the red ones from her meet outfit work well too.

Kirsten's slate bag and supplies are nicely authentic and a great part of her school story items. I particularly like the reader and the awards of merit. Grade A.

This is my favorite of the historical lunch sets, so A+ from me. I have the second version which I much prefer.

"There were no desks in Kirsten’s one room school, so she sat on a split-log bench cut from a tree in the forest. A stream ran past Powderkeg School, and Kirsten loved to have Miss Winston send her to fetch a bucket of water so the class could have a cool drink from the ladle. A trip to the stream also meant she might see her friend Singing Bird."
The bench is great! A+ for this set. It is appropriately rustic and the metal banded bucket and wooden dipper with the leather ladle is excellent. Can you imagine having to sit on such a thing for hours at a time, though?
It works great with her school story outfit and accessories.

I have the second version of this dress with the little floral pattern.
I assume my dress and shawl is authentic but I do not see any tags on it. My set is missing the hair ribbons but Kirsten uses her meet ribbons which are close.
The outfit is adorable though I wish it wasn't quite so similar to her meet dress.
Overall, I'd give the outfit a B+.

I love this set! The abacus is one of my all-time favorite AG accessories. The slated pencil has gone missing. I will be looking for a second slate for Harriet.

Perfect for Addy's stories!

I think this new version is very pretty. It's a bit fancy for Addy (who already has here old lunch pail anyway), so I gave it to Harriet.
Here are Addy and Harriet having lunch to compare the two sets.
Grade: A- (for the ginormous grapes)

Very pretty and appropriate! I like it almost as much as the original school outfit.
Addy definitely hit the jackpot on the BeForever releases. My only complaint is that, for $34, it could come with shoes.
Grade: A

These are very nice. I'm a little worried about the plastic bar in the back. I would say these are almost as nice as Kirsten's skates.
Love the boots and mittens!
Grade: B (would probably get better if I didn't have Kirsten's to compare them to)

This set nicely complements Caroline's meet dress. The green is a nice accent color. The quality is very high (love the top!) but I too wish there was a period-appropriate coin included.
Grade: A-

What a lovely set! The shoulder details really make the Spencer jacket unique and pretty.
The ribbon detail on the hat is gorgeous.

Did 10-year-old little girls really have shoes and boots that exactly matched all their outfits? LOL!
I do love the colors of this dress, it is very unique for AG. I wouldn't like this dress without the Spencer because it shows too much of Caroline's cloth body.
Grade: A-

Caroline is a lovely doll.
I hadn't intended to get her, we were using my daughter's Lanie to time travel to Caroline's time, but the Jill's Steals & Deals from Feb. 2015 got me. (Who could resist Caroline and her nightgown for $55?)
I'm very happy to have her though I wouldn't buy her for a child -- those curls are too much!
Caroline's meet dress is pink Pink PINK! My favorite thing about her is her gorgeous eyes. She won't wear her meet outfit much, but many of the outfits in her collection are beautiful and we're happy to have her.
Grade: B+
