Miffy’s Adventures Big and Small House

(Jazwares

$34.99)

Miffy, a story book character created by Dick Bruna, has been popular with toddlers all over the world for decades. Now Miffy comes to life in a collection of toys that includes a simple but charming playhouse. It opens and closes and has a carrying handle, so it can be carried from room to room or go along to Gram’s or put away with everything inside safe and sound. There's a lot inside this little four room house. It comes furnished with almost everything needed for the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and living room plus Miffy and her friend Melanie. I say “almost” because, oddly enough the bathroom has a sink and tub, but no toilet—an object of relevance to kid of potty-training age. In spite of that missing fixture, this is a charming little setting with book connections. Send for some Miffy books to go with the toy. You'll need to shop around to find this at this price. 2 & up.
