Bookroo's summary

Sally, the epitome of sweetness, is inseparable from her doll, Betsy, who is anything but sweet. While Sally is calm and obedient, Betsy is loud and demanding, always wanting more—more milk, more candy, more fun. As Sally navigates her day, Betsy's antics create chaos and laughter. Can Sally manage her bossy doll, or will Betsy's wild ways take over? Discover the delightful chaos that ensues when a perfect girl and her imperfect doll collide.

From the publisher

Sally is the perfectly sweet little girl every parent would love, and Betsy is her favorite doll. Sally and Betsy go everywhere and do everything together. But Betsy is prone to yelling, screaming, and complaining! When Sally goes to bed, Betsy wants to stay up and drink milk. When Sally goes on the swing, Betsy wants to go higher. When Sally and her parents go to dinner, Betsy wants candy and ice cream. When Sally has to go home, Betsy refuses. Betsy is so bossy! It’s a good thing Sally is not that way!
