The American Girl Doll Company
has been known not only for their dolls but also for the books that accompany
their character dolls. Most of the books
depict the back story of the character so that children will know their dolls
better as well as learning the values that are embedded in the stories. For the historical doll characters, their
books introduce children to the rich American History and the different
adventures and tribulations each character has to go through during those
times.
On the other hand, the Girl of
the Year doll characters’ stories are set in modern day America. The modern girl dolls’ fictional stories are creatively
done by different authors. Each story
carefully touches on modern day issues concerning children and their families
as well as the many problems in our modern society. However, the American Girl bookstore also has
a collection of mystery books which is a great alternative to the classic Nancy
Drew books.
Here are some of the mystery
books from the American Girl dolls:
