Customer Reviews

Lovely Series

I loved reading these when I was in third grade when our librarian introduced me. I felt grown up because she did with a serious tone. I read whole series.

Ordinary Little Girls

Betsy, Tacy and Tib are such ordinary little girls living in a quiet little town doing little girl things. It is perfect reading for a first grade girl. The stories are simple and the reading is at a level suitable for first graders. This Treasury combines all the stories into one book making it quite a big, important looking chapter book for a little girl.

This book contains the first 4 books of the series.

It's not very well spelled out, but this book contains the first four books of the series: Betsy-Tacy, Betsy-Tacy and Tib, Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill, and Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown. It would be great to have all of these in the same volume, but it might get a little heavy if you are reading chapter a day to your munchkin. Of course, it's hard to go wrong with anything Betsy and Tacy.

Amazing Books

These books are amazing. that's almost all there is to say. The characters are great, the plot is great. I can't believe it was all real. I daydream about being Betsy almost every day. If you are looking for a series to read, read these. It doesn't matter how old you are, they're for everyone.

enduring pleasure

as a young girl i loved the "betsy" books and it was a pleasure to pass them along to my daughter. only last night we discussed the books - she's introducing her fourth grade daughter to them this spring. the series is timeless and i love every book !

Special Collection for young girls

As a child growing up, I was an avid reader. I began reading the "Betsy-Tacy" books when the school librarian introduced me to the series. This is a wonderful series showing the life of the main chracter, Betsy. I can remember devouring each of the books. Now that I am a teacher and a mother, I can't wait to find and purchase the books for my daughter and my classroom library. In today's society of technology and media, this is a wonderful collection of old fashioned, classic stories.
