Review by Gymnast427

I love this book! The first book, the doll shop downstairs was also really good. I read the both twice and then read them aloud to my sister as well!

Parent Guide

In this charming sequel to The Doll Shop Downstairs, Anna is now 11. She still plays with dolls, but there’s something new to focus on: The neighborhood stray cat is having kittens! Anna is desperate to take one home, but Papa won’t allow it, and she can’t seem to change his mind. Meanwhile, Anna’s cousin Tania comes to live with the family and struggles to adapt after the difficulties she experienced back in wartime Russia. Eventually, Tania and the kitten help each other to heal and to become members of the family.
