Discerning use of full-page spreads and decorative border art allays Maysen's substantial text in this glowing interpretation. DeMarcken's detail-rich watercolors are marked by a vibrant palette, while the attention paid to the mechanisms of toys and to dolls' facial expressions further emphasizes the fantastical nature of the story. This is a loyal and energetic version, best for read-aloud in multiple sittings, given the length of the text. Ages 4 — 8
