Unfortunately, most of the doll books for ages 8 and up are horror books, like Doll Bones or The Dollhouse Readers. But your daughter might like the classic book Hitty, Her First Hundred Years. She will definitely enjoy The Doll People!

She adores a set of 3 books about mice that live in a tea-cup house starting with “meet the twitches” by Hayley Scott which has beautiful illustrations and a captivating story, with some chapters from the little girls point of view and some of the little magical toy mice point of view. It is more aged 6-9 than many of these younger picture books. I had never heard of the doll people and have immediately ordered a copy of the first one for her. Any other suggestions welcome!

Martin and Laura Godwin are middle grade novels but there is a picture book related to the series as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doll_People
Very interested in this list as I am currently working on a picture book set in a dollhouse!

Also The Borrowers is an old classic, along with The Mouse and the Motorcycle. .
