Three American Girls

This is Kit Kittredge. She is from 1934. That's so old! That was during the Great Depression. Kit and her family really had to work together because there wasn't much money. She was robbed and everyone thought it was by a hobo, but it wasn't. Her father had already lost his job. They were going to loose the house, but then Kit's best friend Ruthie talked her father, the bank owner, into letting the Kittredge's keep their house for two extra months. Sterling, a boy from Kit's class, had to come and live with them when they took in borders. Kit saw a dog that no one could feed anymore and her mother let her keep it. The dog's name was Grace.

This is Josephina. She is from 1824. Her mother died and her father runs the family. Her aunt, Tia Delores, still lived in Mexico City. When she came to visit, the girls realized how much they needed a helper so they asked her to stay. She said yes. During a flood the Montoyas lost tons of their sheep. Tia Dolores had the idea to use all the wool to trade for more sheep. Josephina three sisters knew how to weave, but Jospehina didn't. Tia Dolores and her helper, Teresita, taught Josephina how to weave. They need to learn how to read and write, too. Tia Dolores to the rescue again.



Now that I have both American Girl dolls, they are best friends. We are three American girls.
