SOLVED. YA Fantasy book about dolls from a shipwreck land on a deserted island. [s]

[Lisa]

I read this when I was about 10. A family of dolls and their maid doll were on a ship that wrecked and floated to a deserted island. The Dad doll got a crack in his head. It was a chapter book and I remember the author explaining what a footnote was (like an asterisk) and explaining how to look at the bottom of the page for it.

They had their house on the island and the Dad doll make a sand sidewalk.

The maid doll was always looking for a good soap box to make an addition to the house. At the end of the book she goes through something like pollen that turns her hair yellow and decides to stay on the island.
