THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS

by Alice Bach ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 1, 1975

No more surprises, Daddy at work, cereal for breakfast, and Emily is not even allowed to wear her ""special"" new Indian dress with all the little mirrors on it: everything is dismally everyday, and Emily is in a funk. But gradually when Robin comes to play, Emily becomes interested in the new dollhouse (in which she keeps not dolls but a toy mouse), looking forward to taking it outside in the spring and concluding at last that ""Nothing was over except Christmas."" Readers will easily recognize Emily's post-holiday blues, though Alice Bach doesn't give the condition much more than one-day-a-year interest. And for that one day, Mary Chalmers' warm old-fashioned houses, for both dolls and people, do make it hard not to cheer up.
