Review:

Charley was thrilled when she received the most amazing dollhouse filled with all the perfect furnishings! But after a while, the excitement faded because everything was so flawless. Meanwhile, Charley's friend Lucy had a different approach; she didn't have a perfect dollhouse but dreamed of creating one using items from her “Someday Maybe” box. Lucy’s creativity was bursting as she eagerly worked on building her very own version of a dream dollhouse.

One day, Charley noticed Lucy outside her window, and Lucy happily shared that she was on the hunt for items for her project. As she explained how she crafted different things that she had found, Charley’s mind began to spark with ideas! The two were happily finding things to bring to their dollhouses, making each of them truly special in their own unique way. 

Shannon Anderson's engaging story inspires kids to reuse and recycle household items to build a dollhouse. Vibrant illustrations showcase creativity, serving as a tool for parents and educators to stimulate imaginative play. The author’s note at the end encourages young readers to create a "someday maybe" box and make things for others.
