Secrets from the Dollhouse

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Raul Colon. In a series of free-verse poems, Emma, the wooden doll narrator, longs for adventure beyond the miniature world of the dollhouse inhabited by her family, Cook, and Butler. When Baby disappears, a menacing cat is first suspected and then welcomed as a rescuer, and Emma gets some desired excitement. Sepia-toned scratchboard illustrations show the characters to be lifelike, yet convincingly wooden.
