5.0 out of 5 stars My 5-year-old really loved these books, July 30, 2008

This review is from: Kit an American Girl (6 Book Set) (Paperback)

My 5-year old daughter is fairly persnickety about what I read to her. We've tried other chapter books, including Disney's Fairy Series, Alice in Wonderland, L. Frank Baum's "OZ" books, and Peter Pan. This is the first that she's really connected with.

Kit is a strong role model for girls, modeling intelligence, hard work, and kindness in a way that doesn't seem fake or contrived. I admit that I bought the books just to better illustrate the movie, but I'm sold. I intend on buying more of the American Girl series to share with my little girl.

This review is from: The American Girls Kit Boxed Set (Paperback)

I think the book series is wonderful, and was pleased to get it before Christmas. I was disappointed that the selling description didn't say it was only the first three in the set. All the sets I have previously purchased were the complete set of six books. I was lucky in the fact that my niece is appreciative with whatever she gets for Christmas. More detail would have been great.
Thank

Kit is a great "American girl", and the stories are fantastic. My children (pre- school) love her, they want to hear her stories again and again. And at the end of every book, children learn something about America as it was at the time the storie plays.
