My daughter (aged 4) and I enjoyed this book and plan to read more. We had just finished the Josefina American Girl series and really, really liked those books. While Kit is a fine story, for us, it was not as interesting as Josefina -- probably because Kit's life is so much more familiar and similar to our own. That being said, Kit is a likeable child and the book is well-written. It does teach good values. Kit learns a adjust in a positive way to change and to be a 'team player' under difficult circumstances. A positive aspect of this story is that it will give children the opportunity to ask grandparents and great-grandparents about their Depression memories.

I am a 3rd grade teacher and a "man teacher" as many kids say, and I loved sharing this book with my students. The boys enjoyed it as much as the girls, and we all spoke of Kit as though she were our friend. I found the book to be well-written and full of interesting tidbits perfectly in tune with what the kids would question or want to know about. There is so much these kids do not know, they are missing information somewhere. When I was a kid, I learned so much from wonderful TV programs like "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" and "The Waltons" and "Little House on the Prairie" and so I knew about other time periods. These kids only seem to know about the present day. This book helped them think beyond what they know. Interest in TV programs led me to look for books on similar themes when I was a kid. The best thing about this book was that it made me want to share it with my own grandmother, who lived during the Depression. She was a poor country girl, not a city girl like Kit, but she would enjoy the book if she wasn't suffering from memory loss in the nursing home. I think of her as I read the books. It is like I am sharing something of my grandparents with tomorrow.

It's like being a girl long ago. You'll love it! Kit's real name is Margaret Mildred Kittredge. She has to sleep in the attic because Stirling Howard comes to visit and get to sleep in her room. So she turns the attic into her own beautiful room.

I read the book Kit An American Girl.
This book is great.
You can learn from this book. It tells you how a family works together & It teaches how hard it was to live back in 1934.
I learned some interesting facts.
I learned about the depression. I learned about what you would have to do to live & I learned it was 1934 when the great depression happened.
I would recommend this book for three reasons.
1. It is a fantastic book..
2. It was a true story.
3. This book has so many facts about Kit.
Kit An American Girl is a good book.

We got this at a rummage sale, and he won't put it down. He's never been a really strong reader, but the main character, Kit, is believable. He likes reading about Cincinnati. He finds it amazing that someone wrote a book about the state he lives in. We have tried just about every book out there to get him to read independently. This is the one book he picks up on his own and reads over and over again.
