About This Book
A lively verse narrative follows two wooden dolls who awaken on a frosty Christmas Eve, slip free of their counter, and embark on playful misadventures among the shop toys. Their attempts to dress and parade lead to a tumble and tender nursing of injuries, then to a nocturnal ball where a golliwogg figure and other animated playthings engage in dancing, rivalry, and comic pranks. Escaping outdoors, the dolls and companions ride a snowy slide and endure snowballing and stumbles before laughter and small reconciliations restore the mood, underscoring friendship, mischief, and the spirited imaginings of toys come to life.
