Associated with Kirsten Learns a Lesson. Released in 1986, retired in 2007.
Pencils and paper were scarce in early country schools, so Kirsten did her lessons on a slate. When you play school with her, you’ll see that the slate pencil really works, so it comes with a wiper, too. A ruler completes the school supplies that come in her own brown calico slate bag. Read a tiny version of the original book that Kirsten used when she learned to read English. When Kirsten does a good job in school, you can giver her the Rewards of Merit just like she earned in the story. These were the report cards for girls and boys back then.
Review: Absolutely adorable! I was so very excited to receive this! My favorite pieces are the tiny "Rewards of Merit"... the illustrations are so lovely! My only complaint is that pulling the leather string to close the satchel can be a bit tricky at first... it might tear the leather because it doesn't pull close very easily... maybe it is because I just received this and the leather hasn't been worn yet...
