Read this one to my kids today. It is a lovely little novella, and the illustrations were delightful. It inspired my kids to play with some toys they have neglected for a while.

I loved is a great book

read aloud to my daughter

Quick read and very sweet. Perfect for girls.

Doesn't hold up as well as The Secret Garden but I'm looking forward to seeing 100th Anniversary edition which I somehow missed when it was released - curious to see how Wendy Anderson Halperin interpreted the story.

Just a sweet little children's tale.

Sweet and charming with a surprising amount of twists and suspense, lol, for such a short and tame children’s story. I read it in one sitting because I had to find out what would happen. I enjoyed the dollhouse history that was touched on. The Racketty-Packetty family were endearing. I hope to share this story with my own children someday! Especially when it’s illustrated like the one I read. (The one I read was illustrated by Holly Johnson, which I couldn’t find on Goodreads.)

My gran used to read this book to me when I went to stay at her house. I remember it to this day and the memories are very fond.

What a delightful book. My granddaughters would have enjoyed this when they were about 6 to 8 years old. I enjoyed reading it myself.

No idea why I hadn't read this before — I have always loved Frances Hodgson Burnett's children's books. This is the sweet story of two dollhouses and the dolls who live in them.

What a great children's tale to read the little ones at bedtime. I loved it so much it was hard to stop once my daughter was asleep. Thankfully it is short so I only had to wait one day to finish it with her.

Sweet, short story for little girls who love doll houses. The illustrations are very fun as well!
