This beautiful and historically accurate recreation of an Edwardian home, complete with figures to press out, and lids and flaps to lift up and open, will provide hours of fascinating play. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I borrowed a decrepit version of this book from our library before I started a hunt to buy it. Before there was I Spy there were books like this hiding surprises in their pictures. Heartwarming and traditional (mom, dad, brother, sister, pets) it has lots of flaps and "paper" people and props to place on the pages but they do slide all over, without the modernity of velcro!
Annabel's House by Norman Messenger
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
It is wonderful experience to explore the nooks and crannies of this antique Edwardian house. One of my favorite books from childhood because it allowed me to use my own imagination to create my own characters with the paper doll family which comes along in nifty pockets on the inside cover. Experiencing this book was comparable to playing with my very own dollhouse, but it included extra details, such as the mouse's tail sticking out of a pantry, which made Annabel's House a mystical and spendid place to be. The colorful and detailed illustrations are what make this book so special and wonderful gift for children of all ages, as long as they have an imagination.
