Dear Doctor Elephant,
My husband, daughter, son and I used to live with our maid in a lovely three-story dollhouse. These days a family of sheep and another family of elephants are living there too. What am I to do about this?
Also, I am concerned that our maid may be dating a chimney sweep.

Dear Mother Doll,
Housing can get crowded, especially in wartime. Your house sounds commodious and roomy- have you tried talking to the elephants and sheep about sharing? I can promise you that we elephants are good at sharing. So are sheep- herd animals need to be! You can make nice extra beds out of small scarves, or even put on an addition if you have a good cardboard box! (Corks, seashells and bottle caps can be fine for furniture.)
As for your maid, first of all, her romantic life is her business, and second, love is love, whether it’s between a wooden person and a plastic person, or a cloth person and a china person. We should all welcome it!
Love,
Doctor Elephant
