Discovered!

Dear Amanda had a fright
When she turned from the nightlight
Saw at once the figure there
Told her not to stand and stare
But come next time and ring the bell
And share some tea and cakes as well.

Ssssh!

...a bedroom at the other end of the landing. Yotsuba made her way silently into the room. A young lady was reading a story from a large book to two little heads on a big white pillow.

Treasures in the Sitting Room

...a room full of treasures! In the firelight, Yotsuba was drawn to a cabinet in the corner of the room. She carefully opened the door and looked at the delicate china within. Yotsuba wondered who lived in this lovely welcoming house. Suddenly she became aware of voices above. A shiver tingled down her spine. The voices sounded so full of love. She could here children giggling. Very slowly, Yotsuba made her way back throught the kitchen to the hall. She climbed the stairs and found the voices were coming from ...

Yotsuba tip-toes through the house...

After looking through the open window of the dolls house, Yotsuba noticed the front door was very slightly ajar. She gently pushed the door and it swung open. It seemed to say,' Come on in Yotsuba', so that is what she did! She tip-toed into the house and found herself in a very tidy and clean and oh so cosy kitchen!

Little Miss Nosey

Oh my! Who is this peeking into the open window of the dolls house? Why it's Yotsuba. Usually a very well behaved doll. What will she do next?

Bertie and Boo and Old Black Jack

The boys are scared of Old Black Jack

Who is a most important Cat.

(He's not too keen on little boys

Especially those who play with toys)

Goodnight Dear Boys

Now snuggle down deep

It's time to count sheep

Amanda tucks each boy in tight.

'Tomorrow we'll see

What fun shall we three

'Til then dears, I wish you Goodnight'.

Two Satisfied Little Boys

The boys are well fed

And now off to bed

Amanda says, 'Stay

Each day you can play'

Amanda

The door opens wide

Dear Amanda appears

'Come into the warmth

Don't stand there in tears!'.

Bertie and Boo Arrive

Two little boys

Lost on the streets

Find a nice house

Filled with sweet treats.

('sweet' as in caring, aggreeable, delightful and confectionary!)
