The Beautiful French doll Babette has been kidnapped by pirates and it's up to a Raggedy Ann and Andy to rescue her. After taking a magical balloon ride to Fairyland, Raggedy Ann and Andy meet a most unusual doll -- a soft flannel Camel with wrinkled knees. Stolen from his own nursery years earlier, the Camel Joins Raggedy Ann and Andy in their search for Babette.

Along they way, they make friends with a tired old horse, travel to the Land of the Loonies, and reunite a little girl with her brother. They also stumble upon a kindly old witch who helps them find and rescue Babette. But things aren't always what they seem and the Raggedys are in for a big surprise. In this exuberant adventure story, readers will learn a very important lesson about understanding and forgiveness.
