Synopsis

Emily is excited about staying with their grandmother this summer, but Rose is angry about having to spend so much time with her sister. It seems the only thing they have in common is the adventure that awaits them in Gran's attic. Fantasy becomes reality for Emily and Rose when they begin to restore an old dollhouse. The dolls come to life and begin to speak telepathically to the girls. Awake for the first time in twenty years, they are sad to find that their baby, Walter, is missing. Can they trust two little girls to find a tiny china doll that has been missing for so long? Cooperation is the driving force in this magical tale. As the girls work to reunite and mend the Victorian doll family, they find their sibling rivalry mending as well. Listeners will be mesmerized by narrator Barbara Caruso's ability to shift so effortlessly between the doll and human worlds.

A very sweet story about some children who make friends with a family of talking dolls. They have lost their youngest child, Walter, and hope to find him again one day. Overall a very cute story that everyone should read!!......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on January 29, 2021

Saw the cover for this while looking over the new books on the library website and got hit with such a wave of nostalgia. Listened to the audio book when I was a kid and loved it and it still holds up. Just a sweet good story that makes me happy. Also randomly pro dog adoption. Better than Toy Story......more

Goodreads review by Kessie on May 01, 2008

I read a good amount of this book, but it just couldn't seem to hold my attention. It was interesting, but not intriguing enough to keep reading it. It would be a great book to read to a little girl, but not to read as an adult.......more

Goodreads review by LeAnne on February 16, 2016

The idea was good, but I found it over-written. Too long for the age level. Really corny at times. The image of completing the doll family bringing happiness to the human family is good, but it should not have been so blatantly verbalized.......more
