Racketty-Packetty House
Racketty-Packetty House | Frances Hodgson Burnett
11 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Now this is the story about the doll family I liked and the doll family I didn't. When you read it you are to remember something I am going to tell you. This is it: If you think dolls never do anything you don't see them do, you are very much mistaken.

This was a sweet read. I loved the dolls and their positivity despite hard times. Hip! Hip! Hooray for the Fairies 🧚‍♀️
I was pleasantly surprised by 2 colored illustrations towards the end of the book!

#Read2025

Finished last Sunday for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 & one of my #Roll100 May picks (#70: Any Children‘s Book). Written in 1906, is a sweet story about a unique group of dolls & their dollhouse. While I didn‘t love it, I liked it well enough for it to be a pick.

I love finding these wacky foreign covers! I guess that's supposed to be Queen Crosspatch? Who's so obviously a sexy minx! 😂

This was cute but a little sappy for my tastes. Burnett was better at writing for older children, I think. I did wonder if this inspired Rumer Godden's wonderful doll stories.

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour reading the tagged book for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 on my phone from the Internet Archive. My reading snack is a decadent brownie purchased from the craft fair I stopped by this weekend along with some coconut tea..

My mood is relieved that while I do need to get some work done tomorrow, I don‘t have to go to or be at work & I can sleep in a bit.

Lesliereadsalot Hurrah for coconut tea, yummy brownie and sleeping in! 2w
AllDebooks Enjoy your sleep in. Coconut tea sounds yummy 😋 2w
