Educational and Delightful! - By: James Gallen, 20 Jul 2008
By way of disclosure, I am an American Girls Junkie, as are my wife & daughter. Their books & movies provide an excellent mechanism with which to teach living history to young girls. "Samantha, An American Girl Holiday" is no exception.

For those of you unfamiliar with Samantha, she is a wealthy orphan living in New York in 1904. This movie tells the story of Samantha's developing friendship with Nellie O' Mallley, the daughter of an Irish domestic servant. As the film progresses, the viewer enjoys the breakdown of distinctions between social classes, first among the children, then among the adults.

From an historical perspective, it shows the life of the wealthy, their servants & the suffragette movement.

The movie is Pollyannaish, to be sure, but still delightful. Enjoy as you learn!
