Would you give your doll a Christmas present?

"Big Susan" book cover.

        I've read about a little girl who goes by the name "Big Susan" and she gave every single one of her dollhouse dolls a gift for Christmas one year! 

       Everyone loves to receive gifts that is true but Susan had an even more important reason to give presents to her little family of dolls than most children. It was because her dolls came to life only once a year on Christmas Eve! Yes, from twelve midnight to the dawn of Christmas morning, none of Susan's dolls needed her to help them speak, move or even to feel. And it was for this specific reason, her doll family enjoyed dreaming and talking about Christmas on that very special night more than any other. 

       Are you curious about what kinds of treasures a little dollhouse doll could possibly want? I shouldn't spoil those surprises before you have a chance to read all about their lives in the dollhouse. 

       Once you read this entertaining little chapter book, you should be able to fill in the blanks with a listing of every gift the dolls in Susan's house receive!

Before Christmas dinner the dolls opened the following presents:

Little Susan's gift was a brand new _ _ _ _ and a baby _ _ _ _ _!
Mrs. Doll's gift was a shiny gold _ _ _  _ _ _!
Mr. Doll was given a brand new  _ _ _ _  _ _ _.
