A girl makes her own dollhouse in this picture book that celebrates
creativity and imagination!
A little girl proudly walks the reader through her handmade dollhouse,
pointing out the bricks she painted on the outside, the wallpaper she
drew on the inside, the fancy clothes she made for her dolls, and the
little elevator she made out of a paper cup. She's proud of her house
and has lots of fun using her imagination to play with it--until she
discovers her friend Sophie's "perfect" storebought house. Sophie thinks
her house, with everything matching and even a toilet seat that goes up
and down, is pretty perfect too, until both girls discover that the
narrator's handmade dollhouse is really a lot more fun.
Celebrates the best of free play, capturing what it's like to be fully
engaged and inspired. --The New York Times
Readers will feel right at home with this cozy tribute to imagination.
--Kirkus Reviews, Starred
The realization that creative, outside-the-box artistry can be more
inspiring than anything manufactured makes for a wonderful story.
