American Girls: Rebecca

review 1: Rebecca's 10th birthday falls around the same time as Passover. She worries that with all of the holiday preparations underway that her family will forget her big day. They not only remember, but they surprise her with the best birthday yet complete with beautiful gifts and a cake. As a special treat, her cousin Max invites her to the movie studio to see him in action. At the studio, Rebecca gets a chance to play a small part and catches the acting bug! Recommended for girls grades 3-5.
review 2: Rebecca turns 10 this passover and truly believed her family had forgotten until her cousin, Rose, took her to the surprise party where she had egg creams and sponge cake waiting for her arrival. Not only that, but her cousin, Max, got her a gorgeous, fancy hat and too... morek her to the movie studio (he's an actor!), similar to where Charlie Chaplin might make a silent film! Not only that, but Rebecca gets a real treat that will surprise her Bubbie and parents who do not approve of the film-making industry as a career. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in this time period. I like how the American Girl books show small pictures representing different vocabulary mentioned in the book, such as phonograph and grease paint, that today's young readers might not be familiar with. less
