More Dollies

A doll with a pail and spade is ready for the sands—but first, Saint Nicholas is coming, and the biggest stocking must be hung without so much as a peep.

In this nursery, every doll has a character of its own: Ping-Pong dares you to catch him, Punch has a nose as red as a rose, and Blackman the Giant would rather be small. Richard Hunter’s playful rhymes, illustrated by Ruth Cobb, bring together sea-side games, marching orders, a homesick doll from Algiers and plenty more. Some dollies smile all day; others need Dame Crump to make them mind. Which of these busy little characters will steal your heart?
