Optimistic Melody Ellison has lifelike deep-brown eyes that open and close smoothly, and realistic thick black hair. She comes in an authentic 1964-style outfit:

• A bright blue-and-green houndstooth A-line dress with a blue cowl collar, a blue bow on the chest, and blue bows on the side pleats
• A blue-ribbon headband with a bow for her hair
• Underwear
• Socks
• Shiny blue patent shoes with bows on the toes

The 18″ Melody doll has a soft cotton body, and her movable head and limbs are made of smooth vinyl. Includes the paperback book No Ordinary Sound, the first book of Melodys stories, abridged and richly illustrated in full color.
