I wasn't much impressed by the American Girls series, especially when they began advertising the dolls!

I did like the books about Kit, however, with their depiction of how people coped - or didn't cope! - with mass unemployment, poverty, bread lines, hobo jungles, runaway husbands, etc., and about the New Deal measures that were taken by the Roosevelt Administration.

Each short book (about 50 pages) ends with a brief historical section about the period, illustrated with photographs.

I may buy all six to give at Christmas to my youngest granddaughter...
