Content: My daughter's grandparents were here from overseas and they set her loose in a toy store, returning with this carrying case and two other cc items for close to the price of a grocery bill. It's made of cardboard. No critters are included. You could have the fun of decorating a shoebox with your child and use that instead--no charge. Try a rubber band and voila! A latch.

Do we play with this? Sort of. When we play calico critters, she moves them into her Dora playhouse (picked up free at a thrift shop) and she moves MY family into this overpriced box for ME to use. Buyer beware!!
Summary: People! You are paying a fortune for CARDBOARD!!!!

Content: I have bought lots of the Calico Critters family series from Amazon and when I saw this case, I thought it would be a great compromise - i.e. not having to buy the more expensive Calico Critter houses. As a lot of the Calico Critter playsets come with tiny accessories, this carry n play case is practical as it has sufficient storage space for them. Also, this is a great case to bring along on playdates, or when travelling. My daughter was able to store some furniture, accessories, and up to a dozen Calico Critters in it when we travelled recently. My only complaint is the latch which is not strongly reinforced and opens easily. So, one has to be extra careful when carrying the case. But overall, I'd rate this item as a great alternative to purchasing the more expensive homes in the series, and a practical way to store and transport the critters and accessories.
Summary: A great compromise and wonderful place to store the critters!

Content: My daughter already has a dollhouse, so I was reluctant to get her Calico Critters complete with their own house. I saw the Carrying Case as a happy compromise. I'm pleased: the Carrying Case makes a very suitable home, and I've not had the problems other reviewers had with the latch. Perhaps they've fixed that problem.

So far, we've acquired three playsets ("Halley and Colin Have Fun at the Park" and "A Carriage Ride for Connor and Kerri" and "Zach and Sandy's Bike Riding Adventure"), bunk beds, and the Norwood Mouse twins, and have ample room to store more stuff in the case. My daughter adores her Calico Critters (and they are adorable, in spite of being ridiculously overpriced!), and it all stores in less than 5" of space on a shelf.
Summary: Affordable and entirely adequate alternative to a Calico House

Content: My daughter just turned 3 and she loves the Calico Critters! I received this case in the mail the day before her birthday and I removed the plastic to check it out before I wrapped it. I tried to open the latch the very first time and the latch came off in my hands! It is only attached to the cardboard frame by what look like 4 small eyeglass screws. I tried to put them back in (after searching the floor for the tiny screws!) but the holes were stripped and it was impossible to put them back in. My daughter loves the case and plays with her critters in there all the time, but they should be able to find a better way to attach the latch!
Summary: Great case, terrible latch!
