The class loved this book! We had a great time talking about how WE thought the dolls were feeling and what we thought they must be thinking. This book is full of emotion and allows children to analyze the emotional that they see in a particular situation. We also see the passage of time and aging. The world around the dolls is moving forward and aging but the dolls remain the same, frozen in time until they are given new life. ( )

There are three dolls that are left in a lonley house by themselves until a family comes and moves into the house. The writer writes "I think" followed by the dolls feelings. This would be great for students to use the context clues to explain why the dolls feel this way. ( )

This book is about a lonely man who creates dolls so he does not feel so alone. One day he leaves and the dolls are alone for years until a family comes and the daughter takes them for herself. This book has a spookiness that brings chills up your spin while you read it. ( )
