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.

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 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
