First time ever starting a thread and would really appreciate any help...

When I was younger i remember a book but can't for the life of me remember what its called, I'd love to get it for a Christmas present to dd.

Basically its like a mini world amongst our world so think little doors in skirting boards, citys in stairs in a town. It's not the borrower's but similar. Its the only way I can describe it and I know its not much but any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
(also sorry if not an AIBU)

Sylvia Waugh: The Mennyms?

Thank you! I loved these books as a child and had completely forgotten. Off to find them now.

Sounds like either the Carpet People or Truckers/Diggers/Wings

Spiderwick chronicles?

Upthekingdom · 12/10/2022 22:11

Thanks for all the suggestions but sadly no, it was a board book. I can remember it being quite big, more pictures than words. I'll look into more details all suggestions, I'm sure she would love them.

Upthekingdom · 12/10/2022 22:21

Nope no joy but thank you, I honestly couldn't tell you the author sorry America 12 I'm not giving you much to go off just hoping 1 suggestion will be it. Though id say early 90's would be the timeframe if thats any help
