The tiny little house

''The Tiny Little House'' (1964), by Eleanor Clymer, was inspired by a small house she saw squeezed between two tall buildings in Manhattan. The tiny little house was empty. Nobody lived in it. Nobody cared about it. Nobody wanted it at all. Nobody but Jane and Alice. With the help of Mrs. O'Brien, the two little girls adopt a tiny vacant house and transform it into a playhouse, a home for a little old lady, and a cookie shop for everyone. Book includes recipe for Sugar Cookies. The story was later adapted into a musical for children, ''The Little House of Cookies."
