Abstract
A doll is provided with a sound generating mechanism which includes a cavity-defining enclosure in the head, a sound generating bladder in the enclosure, a compressible pillow in the torso, and a conduit extending between the pillow and the bladder. When the pillow is compressed, air passing through the bladder causes it to vibrate and flutter and produce a sound which is amplified in the cavity-defining enclosure. The doll's torso is soft so that pressure applied to the back of the torso will compress the pillow.
