1-3Hitty'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 finds herself in the midst of the suffragist movement, retains the tone of the original. Though the premise is a bit too purposeful and the language may prove challenging to less sophisticated younger readers, many will find the book an interesting and informative look at historical events.Â
