I am giving my niece the American Girls Collection-Molly for Christmas this year. I decided to preview a couple of the books in the series.
Molly and her family are missing their father, Dr. McIntire, this Christmas. He is serving as doctor in England during WWII. Without their dad at home, Christmas would not be full of surprises. Their dad loves surprises, especially at Christmas.
Girl readers will relate to Molly's excitement over Christmas and a big snowfall and her exasperation over her older sister Jill trying to be overly mature.
A great series for transitional girl readers
I like how in the back the author shares specific facts about Christmas in 1944.
Consideration: The older siblings mention something about Santa that may cause readers to doubt his existence.
-Borrowed from the library.
