From Kirkus Reviews
When her family outgrows their well-loved rag doll, they donate Sally Ann to nice Mrs. Foster's day care center, where she overhears a conversation intimating that the center may have to close. Anxious not to lose her new home, Sally Ann resolves to save it, persuading the other toys to help by reminding them that they'll be able to come alive only at night if they're loved during the day. Together, they unmask the unscrupulous real- estate developers who have posed as state inspectors and preyed on Mrs. Foster in hope of buying her house cheap. Upbeat and imaginative, an easy chapter book that should find many readers; Sims's frequent b&w drawings nicely capture the warm ambiance and perky humor. Marred by see-through paper.

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3-- Sally Ann, an astute, worldly rag doll, comes to live in Mrs. Foster's day care center with the other toys. By the end of her first day, Sally Ann has quickly concluded, by listening to the teacher's daytime chatter, that the woman is in danger of losing her center. At night, while the humans sleep and all dolls come to life, she visits Mrs. Foster and lays out a plan that will uncover the con-artists who are harassing her. Dicks has woven a realistic situation into a mild fantasy for readers ready for chapter books. The ending is highly predictable but justified, and the pen-and-ink sketches add vitality to the text. --Rita Soltan, Southfield Public Library, MI
