Summary "In a Toy Shop: A Christmas Play for Small Children" by Effa E. Preston is a delightful children's play written in the early 20th century. The book is designed as a festive entertainment piece aimed at young children, focusing on a whimsical and charming depiction of toys coming to life in a toy shop just before Christmas. Its playful narrative combines musical elements and simple choreography, making it suitable for performance by small children during holiday festivities. The storyline unfolds in a toy shop where the toys come to life after the shop owner has closed for the night. Characters include toy soldiers, dolls, blocks, and various other toys that sing and dance, expressing their hopes of being chosen as gifts for children. Through their interactions, they share themes of friendship, joy, and the spirit of giving associated with Christmas. As they celebrate the magic of their existence, the toys demonstrate a collective yearning for the happiness they can bring to children, making it an enchanting and heartwarming play for young audiences.
