Tales from the Box

Tales from the Box series.
With the help of a nice mouse couple and friends, five dolls left in a box in the park must learn how to survive. The snooty Countess doll offends everyone, until a daring rescue from a cat and a kindly puppet-maker's repair cause her a (literal) change of heart. Old-fashioned photo and paper-doll collage illustrate this quirky tale.

Tales from the Box series.
This second installment in the story of lost dolls left to forage in the park with their mice friends features Boolar, who agrees to help out in the park's puppet theater and ends up (temporarily) forgetting those who depend on him. Collage-style photo and black-and-white illustrations on every page break up the text of this readable tale of friendship and loyalty.
