Oh this is just so fun for child and story teller.  I bought the paperback book, the old lady, and the bean bag animals.  I liked this story as a child and remember it making me laugh, and now I can read it to my 2 year old and laugh with her.  The doll is just like the book and her mouth is wide and stomach deep enough to fit all the bean bags.  The mouth is the only opening so you'll have to remove the animals through there as well.  Although I wish the doll had a velcro opening in her belly to remove the animals.  The bean bag animals aren't very creative, just a picture on a piece of cloth that's cut in near shape of the picture, filled with beans.
