Family Affair (Dolls)

When I pulled out the wooden dollhouse for my youngest child (she’s three), I needed some new dolls. So, I went to the toy store only to discover that the boxes of the African American family read: Family Affair II–African American family. Three was Asian, four Hispanic.

Although on the website the Caucasian family is Family Affair I, this isn’t the case on the box. They just are. The family. No race, no number.
