Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Kit An American Girl by Valerie Tripp Kit: An American Girl by Valerie Tripp. I am a reader. Reading has been my passion ever since I learned to walk and talk. Books were my favorite gifts at Christmas and on my birthday. Besides being an avid reader, I am also a writer. I learned to love writing because of the books I read and the stories I was exposed to. As I have grown up I have learned to appreciate the art of storytelling in all it’s forms which not only includes books but music, film, the theatre, photography, painting, and more! Reading has not taken me to another universe but has plunged me deeper into our own and because of reading I have learned a lot about the world, about my faith as a Christian, and about myself. I guess in the end I have to thank God for blessing me with such awesome parents who read to me every night before I went to sleep and refrained from buying me a TV for my bedroom.

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Grade 2-4-Set in Cincinnati, OH, during the Great Depression, these books introduce fourth-grade Kit. In Meet Kit, her father must close his car dealership and join the large number of unemployed. In an effort to make ends meet, her mother takes in boarders; Mrs. Howard and her son Stirling settle into Kit's newly redecorated bedroom, while the girl makes the best of her new space in the attic. In Kit Learns a Lesson, her older brother gets a job rather than attend college, and Kit helps her mother clean. Additional boarders have moved in and there is more work than ever. When a classmate's taunts lead to an altercation, Stirling, Kit, and her best friend are punished. They must deliver food collected by the students to the local soup kitchen, and Kit is shocked to see her father on line for lunch. Still, this is a somewhat idealized portrayal of the Depression. Full- page color illustrations and spot art appear throughout. Photos, reproductions, and explanations of the period follow in each of these transitional chapter books.
