Addy Learns A Lesson (American Girl Collection)

Our granddaughter enjoys chapter books. The illustrations were beautiful, large letters easy read for a 6 year old.

I bought this for my "little sister," an 8-year-old African American girl. We read the first in the series and she wanted to go on with the second. We're enjoying a chapter a week when I visit her at school.

Oh yes. This Book on Addy brought the reader back in time, to my granddaughters amazement, while reading this excellent book. She enjoyed it. Thank you.

Great condition

This book teaches you about life during the civil war. Addy learns that freedom came with a great cost. How enslaved african American s had to learn to read and write.

I LOVE Addy from American Girl Dolls because she has love and courage. She is brave to learn read and write! : )

Meet Addy: An Amwerican Girl is about a young girl named Addy whose family are all slaves. This story is told from Addy's perspective about her family's hardships. This story is interesting and keeps the reader's attention. The author uses language that creates vivid images in the reader's mind. The illustrator also uses small pictures in the margins to give a better idea of what the author is speaking about. This book gives the reader the opportunity to experience what a child living in slavery went through. This book is the first book in a series of books about Addy. I recommend reading this book to find out about Addy especially if you are a child. However, adults can enjoy it too.

"Meet Addy" is an excellent book that deals with different cultural backgrounds and diversity. This book is about a family who are slaves on a Plantation, and Addy is a little girl who has to grow up fast. Her father and brother are sold to another plantation owner, so the family is split up. Addy and her Mom venture into the dark woods in hopes of reaching "freedom", and Addy demonstrates so much courage during their journey. Does Addy and her Mom reach the boat that will carry them to freedom? You must read the book to find out.
