Chronicle As Books Kit's Surprise: A Christmas Story (American Girl: Kit #3)
🎄i seriously love kit's books so far and this one was definitely no exception. it's christmas time during the great depression and kit's family is going through some rough times. even with boarders staying at their house, they still don't have enough to pay the bills and are in danger of losing their home.to boot, kit's best friend ruthie comes from a family who is a little bit more well off and can afford things like new dresses and tickets to the ballet. she doesn't understand the plight of people who are poor and who are losing everything. and kit just can't relate to ruthie's fantasy world that she lives in full of princesses and movie stars.
although this is a kids book, it definitely touches on some very heavy subjects but i would say it does a great job of "keeping it real" while also keeping it hopeful and happy. i love the american girl books so much because i grew up with them and the best part is that they are timeless. each girl's story takes place in a different time period so it gives young readers a bit of a history lesson but also, the problems that the girls face are problems that can still happen to anyone at any time and so these books are still super relevant. 💜💗
i will always love the original american girls best but i do love kit a whole lot as well.

Abby loved it--especially how Kit earns money from her uncle to help her parents pay the electric bill. I really loved the illustrations in this one--especially of Kit in her red dress. Come to find out that all the Kit books are illustrated by one of my favorite artists, Walter Rane! No wonder they are beautiful:)
My daughter desperately wants an American Girl historical doll, probably Kit. I'm reading Kit's books to see if I think this is a character I'd like my daughter to focus on. This book started off particularly well-written of the three I have read so far, with the historical details woven in to Kit's dilemmas, and lessons about pride and friendship. However, the ending was incredibly abrupt. It built up to Christmas, with lots of drama and then just ended awkwardly.

I love Kit's books. Her stories and the "waste not, want not" attitude remind me of my great grandmother's stories of growing up in the Great Depression. And, it's a bit humbling, isn't it? All Kit wants for Christmas is to pay the family's electric bill so that they can enjoy the lights on the Christmas tree... Sobering!
