(4) 1-3 Hitty's Travels series. Illustrated by Betina Ogden. Based on the doll character from the 1930 Newbery Award-winning novel by Rachel Field, this chapter book, in which Hitty visits Italy with her spoiled young owner before returning to America with an immigrating Italian girl, retains the original's tone. Although the language may challenge less sophisticated younger readers, many will find this book an interesting, informative look at American immigration in 1908.
