More dollies

Step into a bright, playful world where dolls take on every role imaginable. Saint Nicholas arrives with stockings full of toys, a seaside doll brings her pail and spade to the sand, and Ping-Pong challenges everyone to a lively chase with racquet and ball. Each short verse introduces a new character through cheerful rhyme and colorful imagery.

Meet Uncle Jujuba, who cannot resist sugar-cane, Blue-Coat with his candle for nighttime comfort, and Punch with his unmistakable red nose. A shepherdess watches over her sheep, a cowboy proudly stands beside his horse, and two wonderfully contrasting twins keep everyone guessing. There is also a Highlander marching through his commands, a dutiful policeman, a fashionable Mollie, and a clown swinging high and low.

With its gentle humor, memorable rhythms, and parade of distinctive doll characters, this collection is made for reading aloud and enjoying one small verse at a time.
