I don't know if I am just biased towards Kit or if this book really just was not as good. Don't get me wrong it was a nice book for read aloud. But, this book was lacking in the some of the niceties that we really appreciate in the Kit series. The Kit books read like great historical fiction on a young age level....this first Molly book read a little more like something thrown together as a marketing piece to support the doll. The images and illustrations in the Kit books were fun to look at - some of the Molly book used cheesy stock clip art.

All in all a good book. We will continue on with the rest of the series. I like that it opens dialog about WWII in an age appropriate way.
