Story you must read


A great story! I love the dolls. Peter Piper and Lady Patsy are two favorites. The old house is special.

I wish I’d known of this book when I was a child! I read other stories by the same author, but this was new to me! There’s magic, life lessons, morals, manners, and twists! A sweet story to read with your kids! It’s sparked new imaginative play in my own children.

Sweet memory from my childhood. I loved this book, and just stumbled across the title again.

It's a sweet story about an abandoned doll house and the adventures of the old, forgotten dolls inside.

The Racketty-Packetty House is an absolutely charming and delightful story!
This version -- the 100th anniversary edition released in 2006 -- includes beautifully drawn, yet whimsical, illustrations by Wendy Anderson Halperin.
This would be a perfect read aloud book, as it easily appeals to and entertains any age.

Cute enough, but basically just fluff. Fine for a young girl, or someone who particularly likes stories about dolls.

Short sweet, and very cute. If you love Toy story, this was written years before.

Lihtsate lugudega muinasjutukogumik. Natuke harjumatu oli küll see, et sedavõrd erinevad lood on samade kaante vahele kokku saanud. Reeglina on ikkagi mingi ühisnimetaja, aga siin seda ei leidnud. Mitte et see lugusid halvemaks teeks. Eraldiseisvatena olid need kõik mõnusaks ja lihtsaks lugemiseks.

One of my favorites from my childhood. Love reading it to my grandchildren now.

I really wanted to like this book. Maybe I'd've liked it more if I was the target audience age. The story was anxious, slightly confusing, short and has a magical fairy ending. It is supposed to be sweet, and kind of is.

I had always heard of this classic children's story but never read it. It's one of those dolls-and-dollhouses-come-alive books that turn up so often in children's literature. It's a classic tale of the shabby-but-happy triumphing over the new/rich-but-haughty. A short and charming tale with the bonus of little fairies to help the heroes.

Racketty-Packetty House by Frances Hodgson Burnett – This was an Amazon freebie. If you liked the vibes of The Velveteen Rabbit, then this is in the same vein but with a doll house! Happy Reading!

A must read for all little girls! Too sweet ~ my little one couldn't wait to go to bed so we could read this.
