Fans of the 1930s character can enjoy Kit's Railway Adventure by Harriet Brown, illus. by Walter Rane. This interactive book, styled like a journal, follows the heroine and her Aunt Millie when Kit wins an essay contest: her prize, to travel west to Montana's Glacier National Park. Period photographs, a pull-out train whistle and a Japanese paper lantern keepsake from the Glaciers Hotel allow readers to experience the 1934 World's Fair in Chicago, witness an overnight at a cattle ranch and join Kit's meeting with the President and First Lady, Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt.
