They are basically history books but the stories are interesting for young girls, which encourages them to read. They have different age levels and I just bought 3 of them for DD for Christmas. She is 4 and writing and one of them is Hallie's Horrible Handwriting - it talks about how she doesn't like her handwriting and then she sees that everyone has sloppy handwriting when they first start.
I can't wait for her to get a little older so we can read the older books. Next year she'll be able to participate in the American Girl club at her school. They read and talk about all sorts of things like how to talk to your friends, parents, teachers, etc. - even talk about personal hygiene and girlie stuff like that.
