5.0 out of 5 stars Kit's Suprise Review, September 30, 2000
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kit's Surprise: A Christmas Story, 1934 (The American Girls Collection, Book 3) (Paperback)
I thought Kit's Surprise was a much stronger book than either of the first two in the series. It really developed the characters more, including Kit and her best friend, Ruthie. It also had a legitimate problem and a good solution, as well as a nice Christmasy ending. I liked it a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kit's Surprise, February 17, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kit's Surprise: A Christmas Story, 1934 (The American Girls Collection, Book 3) (Paperback)
Kit's Surprise is my favorite American Girl Book! The setting is nineteen thirty four in Cincinatti. Kit's dad has lost his job and her family is struggling to have enough money to pay their bills. Kit is highly discouraged because she is asked to care for her nasty uncle. He always has a list of jobs ready for Kit. She becomes even more sad because she and her best friend Ruthie get into a huge fight. Can Kit find a way to brighten up the holidays? Read this book to find out!

4.0 out of 5 stars great book, February 25, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kit's Surprise: A Christmas Story, 1934 (The American Girls Collection, Book 3) (Paperback)
In this book, Kit Kittredge is living during the great depression in the 1930's. She and her best friend, Ruthie, get into a fight one day and don't speak to each other. Kit has to take care of her Uncle Hendrick who is grumpy and rude and has a dog that is as mean as he is. At the end, all works out fine for Kit, and she realizes that it is not the worst Christmas ever.
