Welcome to Samantha's World-1904: Growing Up in America's New Century (American Girls Collection)2 reviews
Catherine Gourley
American Girl, 1999
Welcome to Samantha's World - 1904
I use this book in my classroom as a reference book. It contains plenty of information about toys, dolls, games, and the things that children do at different stages of American History. The students enjoy this series, as most history text books do not focus on children's activities of a time period.

What a World!
"Josefina's World" is an excellent supplement to the Josefina chapter books and short stories. Although each chapter book and short story has a section in the back with historical information that is relevant to the story in the book, "Josefina's World" is a colorful, informative historical overview with the kinds of information that readers will most want to know. There are wonderful cut-away ...

Good but Simple
As an experienced cook, I found the recipes in this book to be somewhat simplistic. However, since it was intented for children, I believe that the basic text and detailed instructions included are forgiveable. My family has found several favorites among these recipes, and every dish we've tried has come out well. Most other children's cookery books tend to focus so much on cooking techniques ...

The best kind of historical fiction
The American Girl series of historical novels, written for girls (and boys) ages 9-12, contain six novels about each of the seven girls. EAch of the novels represents one aspect of each girl's life. Separate from the stories are the related books, including cookbooks and craft books. The specific period of American history is both educational and entertaining.

There are some unusual and fun projects included in this book. Most of them are fairly uncomplicated and many of the materials can be found around the house. The book also includes many interesting bits of historical information related to crafting, sewing, and life in general at the turn of the last century. I particularly liked the trinket box and the pressed flower bookmarks. Fun and ...

Of Course It's about Slavery
This book is a great introduction to children about a difficult subject. It is well-written without being too heavy for a youngster. I am somewhat irritated at a previous review, stating that the book focuses too much on slavery and "not enough time spent on life during the Civil War." I hope others reading this book with their children realize that it is about a young black girl who is ...

A Must Have For All Girls
My 8-year old daughter loves this book! The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow and the full-color photos and illustrations help make even the most complicated manuevers seem easy to master! She's learned how to blow buggle-gum bubbles, eat with chopsticks and build a castle with cards! She's looking forward to mastering many more of the tricks over the summer break!

Her prize is a trip to anywhere in the United States, so she decides to visit her brother Charlie, who is working for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) at Glacier National Park in Montana.

Addy's Craft Book
This craft book makes for some interesting conversation. My daughter and I will make some of the craft items to share with others. This book is especially fun when you have a 'girls gathering'. The crafts give you an understanding of how girls of other time periods spent their time. Addy is a wonderful American Girl. I encourage everyone to read the stories about Addy, The American Girl!
