This is not a small book as shown. It is also a darling read for kids 7 years and up. There are pictures and it's really not a short story. It is a beautiful book. I thought this was just the cutest read and have read it several times to children that i could corral long enough to sit down and listen. Once you get started they don't move!! It takes a couple or three sittings to finish book but so fun to read.
Besides the cute story, this is a gorgeous book, with front and back flaps and the drawings are by Brian Selznick; they make the book really stand out. Brian Selznick went on to write The Invention of Hugo Cabret, so fans of his will treasure this book.
My 9 year old daughter loved this book. She couldnt wait to get book #2. :o)
Passed down from one generation to the next, the Doll family has lived in the same dollhouse, located in the same room of the Palmer family's house, for 100 years. Then the modern, plastic Funcraft family has moved into Kate's little sister's room. It is an interesting plot...dolls that move and are "real" when you leave the room. Didn't every little girl believe that at one time or another?

Fun!
Annabelle Doll is eight years old--she has been for more than a hundred years. Not a lot has happened to her, cooped up in the dollhouse, with the same doll people, day after day, year after year, until one day the Funcrafts move in.
