(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Heather Maione. In this sequel to The Doll Shop Downstairs, Anna and her family await the arrival of cousin Tania, fleeing Russia during WWI. When Tania arrives, she's as skittish as the stray cats in the neighborhood; caring for the cats helps her acclimate. McDonough's straightforward text and Maione's cheery All-of-a-Kind-Family-esque illustrations show the small details of one family's life during a turbulent time.
