What a lovely adventure into a fantasy world of the tiny creatures we see in everyday life. A refreshing sojourn into the imaginary realm where a friendly robin takes me on flights of fancy, a dandelion leaf is a cool comfortable lounging spot and the tiny bugs are my friends. Truly, a living book, I enjoyed this little hiatus from reality more than my 7 year old! This endearing story is a must have for children 5-50!

A delightful story of a lonely little girl living in a city apartment, and where her imagination takes her. My family still has copies they won't give up, and after a long search another was finally found to read to my elementary class each year.

It's a wonderful story that I loved as a child, and I am now reading it, over and over, with my 4 year old daughter. It is a great book for kids who are old enough to start hearing longer stories and who are learning to read. It's about a little girl who obviously doesn't have a lot of things or money (reminds me of pictures of my mom from that time, she would have been about the right age) but does have loads of imagination to create her own little world... but still would never leave her own. I didn't like that about it when I was a kid, but as a mother I find that part very appealing! ..., but I wanted to point that out.

I love the idea of dolls coming alive Christmas Eve and I have always hoped it was true! Now my children read this wonderful book and I hope they will pass it on to theirs. Great illustrations and wonderful language by the dolls.

This was one of my all time favorite books as I child. I had a doll house, so it was wonderful to imagine doll house people coming alive on Christmas! I read it every Christmas Eve night - a tradition that lasted for years.

My mother grew up with this book, and I grew up with her copy. It is a wonderful story about dolls who come alive on Christmas
