A series of six historical fiction titles from the time of the Great Depression; page count above is per book.

This series of six books from the American Girl collection can be enjoyed by young girls even without getting into buying the doll and all her accessories. Set in Ohio in the 1930s, this series focuses on Kit Kittredge and her family who are learning to be more frugal and caring during the tough times of the Great Depression. These are sweet stories and fairly easy for young readers (as young as six or seven years old). The stories are filled with nice little lessons about the things that really matter.

These books can be purchased new from numerous catalogs or warehouse stores but are also readily available in used book stores.
