Review: A nice short story featuring Kit Kittredge. : Ten-year-old Kit Kittredge, whos is growing up during the Great Depression, dreams of a tree house of her own. She and her friends, Sterling and Ruthie, have made plans for many different kinds of tree houses, hoping to someday have one of them in Kit's yard. When Kit must help out her mom by babysitting a neighbor's bratty children, her dad and Sterling decide to surprise her by building a tree house while she is away watching the children. But when they show Kit the tree house, it is nothing like any of the ones she dreamed about. How can Kit tell them the truth and disappoint them? Can she ever learn to love her new tree house? This is a good short story that will be enjoyed by all fans of the American Girls Collection and of Kit Kittredge. It has good historical information about what life was life for children during the Great Depression, and has a good message for young readers. I'd recommend this book to the target audience who are sure to love it.
