Based on the childhood and a family Christmas tradition of Tasha Tudor, this is the story of two little girls who have a magnificent doll house and dolls. Every Christmas the dolls invite their friends over for a Christmas feast and marionette show.

The description of the preparations for the big event will interest imaginative girls who enjoy playing with dolls. The illustrations are very detailed watercolors and enjoyable to look at.

Recommended ages 6 - 12 years.

Darling story that highlights the joy of play in a child’s life. Brought back good memories of playing dolls with my sister.

I read my mother's copy of this book that her adoptive mother gave her. It smells wonderful.
The details in this story are so wonderful for fully immersing you in the short story and filling you with the same feelings as the scene in Little Women when the girls share their Christmas meal (down to toys being dropped and forgotten but an overall delight in the day remaining).

This is an adorable story of some little girls preparing and having a Christmas party for their dolls. It’s so cute especially with Tasha Tudor’s charming illustrations. This is perfect for any little girl who likes dolls. I always wanted to have a party like this with my dolls when I was young, but I didn’t have the right kind of dolls, and no one to do it with me.
