5.0 out of 5 stars
Another great Molly story!,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Molly Learns a Lesson (American Girl) (Paperback)
This is another in the American Girls series about Molly McIntire, a ten-year-old girl living on the home front during World War 2. Molly's school is having a "Lend-a-Hand Contest" to help the war effort, and to teach the children about working together. But, when one girl volunteers the third grade girls to knit socks, Molly cringes-she knows how hard it is to knit a sock, and she wants out. So, grabbing hold of two friends, Molly abandons the project and sets out on her own. In this book, Molly learns a lesson about working together...but in a completely different way than her teacher imagined!As with the other Molly stories, this one is great! The story is very entertaining, and gently teaches an important lesson. My 11-year-old daughter is a big fan of Molly, and so am I. We both highly recommend this book to you!

Eager Reader,
This review is from: Molly Learns a Lesson 1944 : A School Story, Book 2 (Hardcover)
A Lesson For Molly
American Girl Collection By Valerie Tripp At Molly's school, in 1944, the children are going to have a contest to see which class can do the most for the war effort. The boys in Molly's class decide to collect aluminum foil and make a big ball to help with metal needed for the war. The girls in Molly's class decide to knit socks. Molly knows that it is hard to knit socks, and decides to make up her own project. Although her two friends are helping, she finds that her new project isn't as easy as it seems. Can the girls in Molly's class win the competition without the help of Molly and her friends Susan and Linda? Will Molly and her friends give in and knit socks? Great things can happen when people learn to work together. School in 1944 was much stricter than it is today. The desks were orderly and often bolted to the floor. During this time, children had to go without many things, such as a new lunch box or rubber boots. Both metal and rubber were needed for the war. Parents who were normally home with their children were called to war or worked in factories. The children needed to adjust to the changes. I am the mother of three American girls. My youngest daughter, Karen saved her own money to buy her Molly doll. One of her cousins had Kirsten, and another had Samantha. The girls played endlessly with their dolls. With American Girl books, I watched my daughter go from a reluctant reader, to an eager reader.

An okay book,
This review is from: Molly Learns a Lesson 1944 : A School Story, Book 2 (Hardcover)
This book was okay. It wasn't the greatest of the series. It's about this girl named Molly, and her school is doing a project to help the soldiers.
