Meet Kit
(Valerie Tripp)
A taste of growing up an American girl during the 1929 Depression is in this volume from the American Girl series.
We visit Ohio in 1934 and meet tomboy Margaret Kittredge who spends her time with friend Ruthie, writes news articles for her family, climbs trees and reads Robin Hood while Ruthie reads Beauty and the Beast.
People acquainted with Kit's family flesh out and personalize the historical stock market crash, its domino effect on the country, and the types of sacrifices many People had to make.
Then after the hard-times story rooted in a loving, family atmosphere follows a ten-page section of news photos with Weekly Reader type facts on the Depression. Written for ages eight and up, it is story that makes one want to know more about that time and then satisfies us.
