Jessi | 13 comments Hey everyone I am looking for a book I believe is called the picallenis although the spelling is wrong most likely I do not remember the author. The main characters lived in a dollhouse. Thanks for the help

I think this might be The Picolinis by Anne Graham Estern.

Lise Petrauskas (lisepetrauskas) Jessi: The only book I know for sure is about dolls living in a dollhouse is The Racketty Packetty House, by Frances Hodgeson Burnett. If it's not the one you're looking for, check it out anyway as it's very good! Beatrix Potter has one that's about mice taking over a doll's house called Two Bad Mice, also very entertaining and of course beautifully illustrated.

I'm going to try to find the Picolinis. Thanks Azalea.

Azalea | 2 comments I'm glad that was it.

I love Two Bad Mice. I even read it now and again as an adult. :)
