Kirsten: An American Girl : Box Set (American Girl) (The American Girls Collection/Boxed Set) Review
This is a set of six of the American Girls Short Stories from the series about Kirsten Larson, a nine-year-old girl from Sweden, whose family has moved to frontier Minnesota of 1854. Each of the six little books has a wonderful story, and is richly illustrated. As an added bonus, each book's final chapter is a special section on life and the world as Kirsten would have known them, which is very informative. These really are excellent books. My little daughter loves these books, as she does her Kirsten doll. We both highly recommend them!
The six stories are:
In Meet Kirsten we are introduced to Kirsten, and travel with her to frontier Minnesota in 1854.
In Kirsten Learns a Lesson, Kirsten begins school in America, struggles to learn a new language, and makes a new friend, Singing Bird, a Native-American girl of about Kirsten's age.
Kirsten's Surprise tells the story of the Larson's first Christmas in America, the adventure Kirsten has, and the wonderful surprise she has for her family.
Happy Birthday, Kirsten! tells us about the hard work that Kirsten must do around the farm, and rewards it brings.
We see Kirsten make a wonderful find, and learn a valuable lesson, when Kirsten Saves the Day.
And finally, in Changes for Kirsten, little Kirsten tries to help the family's tight money supply, but when she lets her heart overrule her head, she causes more trouble then she ever thought possible.

Great Learning Tool! - J. Winsor - California
My Daughter loves all the books in the American girl Collection, and I love all the History that she is learnig! Thanks for a great product offered!!
Buy these books directly from Amazon, not the Amason Marketplace sellers... - Toy and Music Enthusiast -
If you are considering purchasing this set, please note that there are 2 boxed sets being sold here that are very different in quality. Many of the Amazon marketplace sellers are selling the older Pleasant Company versions of these stories without mentioning that they are doing so in their listings. The newer American Girl boxed sets are glossier, twice as thick, and much more colorful and appealing. Also, even the new or like new Pleasant Company boxed sets have a weaker binding because the glue used to make them is so old and frail. If you want the highest quality books for your money, buy these from Amazon directly. Or, at least make certain of what you're getting beforehand. The newer American Girl boxed set is vastly superior to the Old Pleasant Company version.
Delightful - Kimberly C. Lundgren - Kemmerer, WY
