Bookroo's summary

Natasha's impatience leads her to play with Babushka's mysterious doll, only to discover it springs to life with a mischievous spirit. As the doll's antics escalate, Natasha must navigate the chaos it creates. Will she learn why Babushka only played with it once? This enchanting tale unfolds with humor and warmth, capturing the timeless bond between grandmother and granddaughter.

From the publisher

Natasha isn’t really a bad girl. It’s just that she wants to play on the swing “now,” not after the laundry is done. She wants a ride on the goat cart “now,” not after the wash has been hung up to dry. And she wants her soup “now,” not after the goats have been fed. Looking after Natasha keeps Babushka, Natasha’s grandmother, very busy.
