Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many years had it been since Auntie Sarah went to the attic and never came back?

Answer: Forty-five

It was so long that Annabelle barely remembered Auntie Sarah, and the rest of the Dolls had almost given up hope of ever finding her.
2. Which of the Dolls was accidentally ordered from a different set, and was much bigger than the rest of the Dolls?

Answer: Baby Betsy

When William Seaborn Cox and his wife, Clara, first unpacked the dollhouse and the Dolls, they realized that someone had made a mistake and put Baby Betsy-who was on a much bigger scale than the rest of the Dolls-inside the set, too. However, they left her with the Dolls anyway, which Mama and Papa Doll were very grateful for.
3. Which of these is a song that the Dolls sing while Uncle Doll plays the piano?

Answer: "Respect"

Some other songs that they sing are "Under the Boardwalk" and "Natural Woman."
4. When Auntie Sarah was "blending" near the Palmers' radio, she listened to the news and heard that a huge storm was being expected. What was the hurricane called?

Answer: Connie

This is what Auntie Sarah writes: "Hard to believe. Am writing this sitting on table in living room. Katherine and her husband were just here. Were talking about baby they are going to have. Now am listening to news. Huge storm expected tomorrow. Hurricane Connie. Very exciting." When Annabelle reads this, she first begins to think that maybe Auntie Sarah ventured outside of the dollhouse.
5. Which of the Dolls has the idea that they should make a bouquet of paper flowers for the Funcrafts' housewarming gift?

Answer: Nanny

At first the Dolls couldn't think of anything to give the Funcrafts that wouldn't be missed by the Palmers, but then Nanny had the idea of a bouquet of paper flowers, made from scraps of paper and crayons that the Dolls had smuggled in over the years.
6. When Nora grabs Annabelle and throws her across the living room, where does Annabelle land?

Answer: On The Captain's bed

"At least it's soft," thinks Annabelle. But at night, when The Captain comes down to sleep in his bed, Annabelle is very frightened and has to hide.
7. Whose foot does Annabelle run into just after she escapes The Captain, and just before she goes into Doll State?

Answer: Mrs. Palmer's

After running away from The Captain, Annabelle runs straight into Mrs. Palmer's foot. Mrs. Palmer can't quite believe that she actually saw Annabelle move, and Annabelle ends up in Doll State.
8. What day is Annabelle's birthday?

Answer: May 12th

While she's in Doll State, Annabelle thinks about her upcoming birthday and about how she missed out on going to the Funcrafts' house.
9. Does SELMP stand for "The Society for Exploring and Looking for Missing People"?

Answer: No

SELMP actually stands for "The Society for Exploration and the Location of Missing Persons." Tiffany comes up with the name.
10. When the Dolls go to visit the Funcrafts, who is the first Doll to get caught by The Captain?

Answer: Uncle Doll

When the Dolls arrive, the Funcrafts are dodging and jumping around The Captain's swiping paws. Uncle Doll runs across the floor to get to the safety of the Funcrafts' house, but The Captain catches him first. Then Papa Doll runs in front of The Captain's face, making The Captain drop Uncle Doll and snag Papa Doll instead.
11. When The Captain carries off Papa Doll, where does The Captain drop him?

Answer: Off the top of the armoire

Poor Papa Doll gets stuck about three feet from the floor, jammed between the wall and the back of the armoire. The Funcrafts and Annabelle save him by using Nora's jump rope to lower Papa Doll down.
12. What kind of spider was Auntie Sarah looking for when she got trapped under the steamer trunk in the attic?

Answer: Amaurobius ferox

Auntie Sarah was fascinated with spiders, so she used to go on explorations to the attic to study them. She was very close to an amaurobius ferox, but before she could make any observations, someone came into the attic and trapped Auntie Sarah underneath a trunk.
13. Uncle Doll had been writing in Auntie Sarah's journal so that Annabelle and Tiffany would know to look for Auntie Sarah in the attic.

Answer: True

Annabelle and Tiffany figured out that someone was writing in the back of the journal because the handwriting didn't look the same as Auntie Sarah's did. Annabelle didn't figure out who it was, however, until the end.
14. Tiffany says that if Nora had gotten the Funcraft Dream House model number ____ she would have gotten a friendship necklace. What model would have had the necklace?

Answer: 210

Tiffany said that if she HAD gotten the friendship necklace (which is actually two necklaces), she would have given one necklace to Annabelle.
15. At the end, two of the Palmers are saying that they wonder if the Dolls are alive. Which two are talking about it?

Answer: Kate and Grandma Katherine

Grandma Katherine agrees that, yes, she does sometimes think that the Dolls are alive. Then she and Kate stare thoughtfully at the dollhouse, and Annabelle smiles to herself.
