'''Kit: Read All About It!''' is a bound, abridged book of the first three books of [[Kit Kittredge|Kit]]'s original [[Central Series]]. It is included with [[Kit Kittredge (doll)|the Kit doll]] when she is purchased and available separately.

==Stories Included==

* ''[[Meet Kit]]''
* ''[[Kit Learns a Lesson]]''
* ''[[Kit's Surprise]]''

==Changes from ''Read All About It!''==

* Several--but not all--illustrations have been placed back into the text.
* Several minor descriptions, scenes, and smaller events within the text are removed (e.g. long details about Kit's newsletter and the redecoration of her room in the first chapter of ''Meet Kit'';), but no major plot events or stories are removed. 
* Chapters are renamed, with some being combined after scenes have been removed. 
* The scenes of Kit writing what she will not have money for, and talking with [[Ruthie Smithens|Ruthie]] under the porch about her father losing his job and what to do, are removed. 
* The minor scene of [[Hendrick Frosbythe|Uncle Hendrick]] grilling Kit in academic subjects is removed, as well as much of his berating of Mother and Dad.
* The scene of Kit and Ruthie examining the attic is removed. 
* The scene of Kit and Ruthie walking to school with Sterling, and the scene of Thanksgiving being explained by [[Minor Characters in Kit's Series (H-R)#Roger|Roger]] (and then corrected by Kit) as well as students answering questions about how to help each other in the Depression, is removed. 
* Since the scene of Charlie giving Kit the tennis ball to use when caring for Inky is removed, Kit does not throw it in the park when she walks him. He is also not chewing on it on the day Kit writes the story for Ruthie; he is instead snoring as well. 

==Items Associated and Illustrated in ''Kit: Read All About It!''==

* [[Kit Kittredge (doll)|Kit's Meet Outfit and accessories]] (both versions)
* [[Typewriter Set]] 
* [[Kit's Bedtime Extras]] (book)
* [[Kit's School Outfit]]
* [[Christmas Outfit]]
* [[Aviator Doll]]

==Trivia==

* Unlike other characters, there are no added diagrams or maps in the front of Kit's abridged books. This is also true with Samantha's book, ''[[Samantha: The Gift]]''.
