Summary: Another great Kit book
Comment: This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Kit Kittredge, a ten-year-old girl living in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1934, during the Great Depression. Kit has been dreaming of a tree house, a little place where she can go off and be alone in. But when her father and Stirling, the son of a boarder, build her a tree house she is disappointed that it looks nothing like her dreams. Should she tell the truth and crush her father, or should she lie and tell him that she likes it? Perhaps such stark choices do not cover all of her options...
As with the other Kit books, this is a great story. It paints a true-to-life portrait of the hard times faced by so many Americans at that time, but it does so in an upbeat way. My daughter and I loved the story of this book, while I loved its lesson. As always, Walter Rane's illustrations are great, which adds a lot to the feeling of the story. Plus the final chapter, which is on housing in 1934 and making a jewelry tree (nice!), is wonderful.
My daughter and I both highly recommend this book to you!

Summary: better than the last Kit short story
Comment: In Kit's tree house, Kit, Ruthi and Stirling are drawing up ideas for the Tree House of Kit's dreams. But her dad and Stirling decide to surprise her with a tree house. Only it's terrible! The tree house is far from what Kit imagines, until Stirling tells her why he and her father really built it. The history section talks about boarding houses and why a girl like Kit would have really wanted a tree house. The book also includes an activity on making a jewerly house. This book, overall, was better than the previous Kit Short Story, but it ended too quick, and, once again, several of the graphics and artwork were repeated. If you are a Kit fan, like I am, you'll love this book. It has more of a lsson than the previous Kit Short Story.
