Playhouse was a funny children's book. A young girl is given a playhouse by her dad and once she gets it, she wants more pretent things. First it's a pretend barn, then it's a pretend family! Eventually her parents need to make a point so they make a pretend her and see how she reacts. She is not too happy so she comes back to her family and explains how she would much rather have a real family then a fake one.
