From the publisher

Few children’s book series can match the runaway success of the American Girls Short Stories. In one year we’ve sold nearly 2 million copies of these perfectly pocket-sized (4 1/2” x 6”) hardcover books featuring the adventures of the American Girls. Full-color illustrations, a historical picture essay, and directions for a craft project in every book make these an incredible value at just $3.95 each.
