Great American Girl short story

History, a great story and an authentic historical craft! Not only that, but just the right size for girl-sized hands. A+++++++ Cannot be beat!

A very good Kit book, but not one of the best

This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Kit Kittredge, a ten-year-old girl living in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is 1934, and Kit wishes that she could go see a Cincinnati Reds game like she and her father used to before the Depression began. When she's hurt during a neighborhood game, Kit finds a way to help someone else!I am a fan of the Kit books, but must admit to feeling somewhat disappointed by this one. A part of what I like best about them is the life lessons that they teach, but this one is a little thin on the lesson part. But, that said, my daughter loved the book, and we both liked the illustrations. The final chapter was a look at baseball in 1934, and a project for personalizing a baseball cap, which my daughter is already planning out right now. So, overall I would say that this is a very good Kit book, but certainly not one of the best.
