5.0
When I was a little girl, that colorful American Girl catalogue that came in the mail every so often was one of my favorite things. Kirsten was one of the first three American Girls, and I read all the stories about her. So when my own daughter was learning about pioneers in America, we looked at the local library and found those stories I enjoyed as a girl, and this book that went into more details.
This book builds on the stories about Kirsten, but you don't really have to be familiar with the character to enjoy this book. This focuses more on the general experience of immigrants to America, who headed west once they arrived here by boat in the mid 1800s, rather than specifically on Kirsten's fictionalized story. Fans will find references to those stories, though, in the midst of historical details and brightly colored, informative photos and artwork.
Very enjoyable.
