Having my children understand history in a meaningful way is important to me. The history dolls & story collections by American Girl are perfect for high quality learning that is appropriate and appealing for an 8+ year old child. I prefer this version of the printed books because all the stories for each doll are in one organized place. With 8 dolls, it would mean close to 48 individual books scattered around my home. With this series I only have 8 scattered around my home! lol I also do not need to wonder if I have all the stories or not for each doll. Hardbound style helps the books last longer & look nice.
Kit Kittredge is the only doll bought entirely with my own money. I love Kit's sense of justice! I connect with Kit loving Robin Hood. Most of the stories I loved until I was 13 stared male leads. My Love of writing is more on the creative side, but we are both writers! Valerie Tripp can world build despite having to write in the "Learning to Read" pose, where you "tell" more than "show." I tried to think of questions for deeper research on the Great Depression, and couldn't! Valerie Tripp says of Kit "Kit was not a flouncy girl." Kit was the first American Girl doll with short hair, her Overalls Outfit, and original Pajamas are not "Pink Aile" at all! The fact that Uncle Hendrick is a Republican in a family of Democrats is also comforting. It shows some families are different just like mine! Kit wasn't my first, but she's my favorite! The movie is a crime story, while the book is more of an activism story, feeling more mature. A reporter is one of the jobs I’ve considered,Read full review

Sadly the BeforeEver books Mattel puts out with the American Girl dolls have nothing on the books put out by Pleasant Company or the original American Girl. The illustrations and historical content are everything. Very pleased with this hardcover volume!
