Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR There was a warm pink glow coming through the window in the tiny kitchen and it kept moving and flickering about. Surely something that was small enough to fit inside my doll's house couldn't be scary! Feeling more curious than frightened now, I slipped out of bed and crept across the floor to the doll's house.

She had a bag slung across her shoulder with a picture of a tooth on it and the light was coming from a miniature wand that she held in her paw. She was very busy opening every cupboard and drawer in the kitchen, pulling out tiny saucepans and cups and plates and leaving them scattered on the floor.
