[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried the new American girl books (Beforever or something) with my daughter, but in first and second grade she has much preferred the older boxed sets, the ones I remember reading as a girl. We got them on Amazon used for a very reasonable price and she has been really into them for both independent reading and being read to. In my opinion, it is unfortunate that American Girl has switched to this new type of book, which I don't think can be read easily by a child younger than 4-5 grade (whereas many younger girls are really into the dolls' stories). Luckily it is easy to get the older boxed sets online, and I really recommend trying that. We went through Kirsten, Felicity, and are reading Molly now. [/quote] Just to add that the "new" books are not just for new characters, even the old characters had a different type of longer chapter book now. [/quote]
