The doll Emil finds himself living in a real house with other dolls, two old people and their dogs. Due to some manufacturing glitch in the factory, he is unable to see or hear without a pair of special glasses, which have to be charged each night when he sleeps. This doesn't keep Emil from doing things other dolls do, such as riding through the woods on a bicycle, playing with the other dolls and spending special time with his brother, Billy, who is the only other boy. Emil has a lot to learn when he arrives, but it's fun.

What is it like to be a doll living in a home with other dolls who run around and do interesting things? What do you do when others don't want to allow you to be who you are? How do you cope when things you're used to change? What do you do if you have a problem you can't solve, no matter what? Billy likes to have fun, but he also likes to be helpful. Follow Billy's adventures and struggles as he works things out, sometimes by himself and sometimes with the help of others. "Billy" is a graphic storybook for children. The characters are dolls. The illustrations are photos of the characters doing what the reader is learning about in the stories. Each story is independent.

The cast of "The Doll's Storybook" take on personalities of characters in well-known classic children's stories: Little Red Riding Hood, The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Hansel and Gretel. Although each of the stories has a twist, children and adults who are familiar with these stories will recognize them at once. Each page contains one or more photos of the characters acting out the scenes, making the text easier to understand for young readers or children using the stories to learn English. The cast of characters for the stories are realistic-looking dolls with elbow and knee joints, which allow them to move around easily, but their environment is one real children can identify with. They live in a house made for real people and spend time outdoors in a human-person's world. Dolls living in a world suitable for people sometimes run into difficulties! The first story is "Little Green Greatcoat." A girl doll takes a basket of food through the woods to her human grandmother's house and meets a wolf. Things don't go as the wolf (or the reader) expects, though, and the happy ending isn't as messy as the original. "The Boy Doll Who Cried Wolf" follows. This story follows the original closely, except that the sheep don't belong to the boy doll, and none of them is harmed. Readers will recognize another character from children's literature who makes a cameo appearance. In the third story, "Lost in the Woods," a boy doll and a girl doll lose their way following a rabbit and look for help at the home of an old human woman who has interesting dietary preferences. Will they find out in time? Will the dolls escape? This is the third book in a series. Each is a standalone book, so they do not have to be read in order. "The Doll's Storybook" is a favorite of doll collectors, as well as children. The stories are like photojournalism but with fiction; like graphic novels with photos. The story blog "The Doll's Storybook," began in 2018 as a way to share stories with the author's grandchildren who all live a long way away. Other adults and children found the stories, and parents and grandparents began to ask for a physical book--one they could read to their children or that the children could read to themselves and not use up their "screen time."

Did you ever wonder what your dolls do while you're at school or visiting a friend? The dolls from The Doll's Storybook like to make up stories and then take photos of themselves acting out the stories in a genre they call "Photojournalism of the Imagination." Often they get their ideas from their own reading, but it's more interesting if you take a story everyone knows and use it to make a new story with new ideas. Very young children will need to have someone read these stories to them, and young readers will find help in the text and the photos when they read to themselves. Each one of the five stories is followed by a "Reader's Challenge" to get children thinking or to start a discussion and encourage critical thinking. The stories included are: "Welcoming a Stranger" inspired by "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" "The Rescue" inspired by "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" "Unmasked" inspired by "The Shoemaker and the Elves" and a real life event "Fuzzy Town--A Play" inspired by Claude Steiner's book "A Warm Fuzzy Tale" "Sky Blue" inspired by "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" In the back of the book, people who knit and sew will find links to free patterns to make some of the clothes worn by the dolls in the stories.
