Customer Reviews

Thanks Godness I found you

I have been searching for the Betsy books ever since my oldest daughter was born 9 years ago. Reading about the birth of Betsy's little sister, Star, turned me on to reading for the rest of my life. I couldn't wait to read every book in the series. This book is one of my fondest memories as a girl in elementary school. I only hope to share these with my two little girls. I also hope that someday they will be republished for new generations to enjoy.

Wonderful Childhood Favorite

This is a wonderful book about little Star, Betsy's younger sister from the Carolyn Haywood series. My daughter and I loved reading about this little girl and how she can't wait for kindergarten and the wonderful way her parents make her dreams come true. A truly wonderful book for little girls.

Betsy's Little Star

I have been searching for this book for 20 years now. As a child, I was an underachiever in school due to a poor home environment. However, in fourth grade, I found these "Betsy" books and would read one in an afternoon! I couldn't wait to finish one book to get to the next.I remember mostly Betsy's little Star because how the writer wrote about the birth of her baby sister was truly incredible.I have not seen these books in decades, but now have a little girl of my own and really want to purchase this series for her.You can't go wrong with these books. They instilled in me a love for reading that helped me to go on to graduate from High School with High Honors and from University in three years, Magna Cum Laude. My love for reading remains to this day.

A Book Worth Reprinting

Betsy's Little Star is the story of Betsy's new baby sister. Like all the Betsy books, it is still as interesting to children today as it was fifty years ago. Ms. Haywood had a special insight into childhood.Why isn't this book available? All of these books are worthy of reprinting, I hope some publisher will take notice. I would love to read this book to my children.

wonderful...what a delight for parent and child

the books are a winner...every last one of them...buy every one that you can... you'll never regret it.
