Flora's Magic House

Friendship and calm under pressure save the day! When a lonely doll's wish to see the world comes true, she realizes that friendship matters most of all. A German picture book classic back in print for the first time since 1986.

The little doll Flora is lonely and sad because she can't travel the world like her best friend Robert the Bird. To cheer her up, Robert invites two of his best friends over--Magic Box, a boastful fellow with a box for a head, and Humpty Dumpty, the shy Englishman in the shape of an egg. Magic Box, who says he can make anything with his magic scissors, snips a house out of paper for them to have a party. But when a storm comes and puts them all in danger, it's Humpty Dumpty who comes to the rescue.

Back in print, this thoughtful and adventurous story is a classic of European children's literature.
