Product Description:
Annabelle Doll and Tiffany Funcraft are two dolls who have been best friends since they met in Kate Palmer's house at 26 Wetherby Lane. In this sequel to The Doll People, they hitch a ride in Kate's backpack and find themselves in the biggest adventure of their lives, a day at school! But when an endeavor to return home lands them in the wrong house, they're in far deeper trouble than they imagined. Along with a host of new doll friends, they also encounter Mean Mimi, the wickedest doll of all. Mean Mimi is mean-really mean-and she's determined to rule all of Dollkind or else destroy it. Will the world ever be safe for dolls again? In this masterfully plotted sequel, Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin, with the help of Brian Selznick's ingenious black-and-white illustrations, take the reader on another nonstop adventure from a doll's eye view!

Oh, I was so glad to see a sequel (and there's a apparently a third!) I hope we get to revisit the other house with the new dolls, they seemed to have pretty interesting stories. I'm glad to finally see confirmation of a permanent doll state--wonder if that has any future implications for the subsequent book? Same with the spiders, that whole discusion with Aunt Sarah never really came to anything. Anyways, this book, just like its predecessor, had an imaginative plot, and I was very glad that we actually got to leave the house and see their school, as well as interaction with new dolls. It brings up new ideas about the rules (I'm personally intrigued by the action figure rule) that I think should be further explored. Really, I just loved seeing all the dolls together again, it was awesome.

Lucy's monster drawing refuses to go to sleep. The imaginations of young readers might do the same. It might be impossible for them to resist grabbing the crayons and creating a monster friend of their own after reading this Go to Bed, Monster! It's a simple story full of tone with illustrations that are exceptionally accessible to children. The understated contrast between the soft lines/pastel colors of Lucy and her surroundings to the rougher crayon-like scribbliness of the monster make for a perfect balance.

I think this is a great book. The main character's name is Annabelle and she's a doll of course. She is in the doll house and her aunt has been missing for a long time. One day she looks for her and she finds a girl named Tiffany and they both try to find her. The setting of the story is a human house and the doll house. The theme of the book is Adventure.
My favorite part of the book was when Annabelle finds Tiffany. The book starts out slow but it gets interesting.
Are you the person who would like to read this? If you're the kind of person who likes interesting books and sometimes can't find a good book, you're the kind of person who would like this. In fact, everyone would like this book. It is great to use your imagination in this book.

My daughter has been listening to this audiobook every night at bedtime for 2 years now. She will only listen to this going to sleep (or the Doll People also). If your daughter is 6-12 she will love it.

This is a fantastic book! It is not just about moving and talking dolls but it is also about friendship and family. It was so good that I didn't want to put the book down! I love the characters, settings and events in the story. My favorite character is Annabelle because she is exactly like me. I like the school setting because it made you feel like you were actually there. I think that the best part was when Nora played Miami Beach a-go-go.
It all began in the attic of Kate and Nora Palmer's house. Auntie Sarah Doll and the pair of best friends (Annabelle Doll and Tiffany Funcraft - all dolls) went to the attic to find a spider that Auntie Sarah had been wanting to see. When they tried to return to their owner's room (Kate) she wakes up so the dolls had to hide because dolls can't be seen moving by humans or they would go into doll state or worse permanent Doll state. So Auntie Sarah hid behind the attic door and Annabelle and Tiffany hid in Kate's book bag. Kate brought her book bag to school that day. The two friends then got out of the book bag to explore the school. When it was time to go home Annabelle and Tiffany jumped into the wrong book bag accidentally. The book bag belonged to a boy named B. J. He took his book bag home that night and Annabelle and Tiffany got out of it. They realized they were in B. J.'s room. There they met a lot of other dolls. The dolls they met belonged to B. J.'s sister Callie. They came into B. J.'s room to hide from Mean Mimi. Mean Mimi was an ordinary doll who was always dressed up in a purple princess dress. She wore a crown on her head and in her hand was a magic wand shaped like a star. She thought that she was Princess Mimi Queen of all the dolls. She forced dolls to do what she wanted them to do. Annabelle and Tiffany stayed all weekend fighting Mean Mimi's battles. Then on Sunday night they got back into B. J.'s book bag. B. J. brought his book bag to school the subsequent day. When no one was looking they got back into Kate's book bag. (They made sure it was Kate's and not someone else's) When they got home that day both the Doll and the Funcraft family were in the doll house. When the two families saw Annabelle and Tiffany they ran up to hug both of them. When everyone had gotten back into the doll house, including Annabelle and Tiffany, they heard a noise coming from the book bag and realized Mean Mimi had followed them home. Will Mean Mimi meet her doom? Read the book to find out.
