Playhouse - by Robert Munsch (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Rene loves to play "pretend" but sometimes there's no substitute for the real thing.

After convincing her dad to build her a playhouse, a playbarn, and play farm animals, Rene feels something is missing -- people! Rene wants a play mommy and a play daddy to go along with her new playhome. But Rene's parents don't like the idea, and so she creates cutout-parents from cardboard instead. But when she finds that her parents have replaced her with a play Rene, she quickly realizes that REAL families are the best of all.
