Reach for this book when your child is in a playful, silly mood and needs a story that validates their wildest daydreams. This Victorian classic captures the whimsical energy of a child who sees life in every toy and adventure in every corner of the yard. The story follows Dorothy, a young girl who discovers that the Blue Admiral, the Highlander, and the Sir Walter Scott wooden figures have come to life and are embarking on a nonsensical journey. It is a world where logic takes a backseat to wordplay and curious encounters. While the language is rich and sophisticated, the emotional core is one of pure, unbridled wonder. It is an ideal choice for building a child's vocabulary while fostering a sense of joy in the absurd. Parents will appreciate the gentle, safe atmosphere of the adventure, making it a perfect read-aloud for ages 7 to 10 or an independent read for older children who love wordplay.
