Betsy-Tacy Audiobook

" This was listed as a classic on a list, and I had never heard of it. It is a very gentle read of 2 little girls who become friends at the turn of the last century. Episodic, kind of reminiscent in tone to Winnie the Pooh, except I think Pooh is more imaginative. "

" 3.5 stars. I can imagine loving these books if I'd happened upon them earlier in life (say, at age 5 or 6). "

" I guess I missed out on reading these beloved series as a child. So my friends said I must catch up on these and I am going through the series now. Yes, they are written for kids so I have to accept the easy and simple writing style as is but it is slightly reminiscent of the series I did love as a child with simpler prose and thought...the Anne of Green Gables. "

" My daughter doesn't understand it yet (9 months) but someday, she'll love it like I do :) at least I hope. "

" This book was great but for some reason after I finished this book and tried to read 'Betsy Tacy and Tib' I Never was able to get inot it like the first one, it was very disappointing. "

" This is a wonderful audiobook. I have never read this charming little classic as a child, but I must say that this was an enduring and uplifting story about two little girls becoming best friends and tells of their adventures set back in the year of 1897. This is recommended for ages 7-10 and though I think it would be wonderful for all little girls to read, it is wholesome and sweet; I also think that adults who may have never read this should read it as well. "

" I've been wanting to read the Betsy-Tacy books for sometime. I truly enjoyed this story. Their childhood seems almost idyllic, though the story deals with the death of a baby and the birth of a new sister, so there's nothing naive or unrealistic about it. At times it made me wish my daughters could have such a sweet, simple childhood, and a friend as lovely as Betsy and Tacy. "

" What a sweet, charming book of the friendship between two girls in the early 1900s. Nice to revisit. "

" A trip back to my childhood. I loved, loved, loved these books, so it was fun to re-read this first one now and not only see it from an adult perspective, but place it in its proper time period with all the assumptions and values that come with that. "

" Aww, I remember I LOVED this book when I was younger. Brings back good memories! =) "

" Kids thought it was a little slow, but I liked it. Very old-fashioned. "

" I began reading this series when I was in elementary school. I loved it and I recommend it to all of the young adventurous girls out there. "

" Super cute start to a series I had never heard of before reading this. "

" I read this to my five year old and fell in love with it all over again. Such a great, sweet, honest book without ever being saccharine. Lovely. "

" The first Betsy book I read. I LOVE these books. They are so wonderful. I introduce them to everyone I can. I've read the whole series once every one or two years since I first started reading them! Wow! "

" Read as a child; loved it. Re-read with Kiernan, loved even more. "

" I want to read the whole series. "

" I loved these books when I was young--it was such a sweet, simple story of 2 girls who become friends and how their lives intertwine through love, school, jealousy, and all the other sort of live issues that girls deal with. "

" Delightful. No wonder people still love these books. "

" lovely on audio - wonderful friendship story, with an old-fashioned sensibility "

" Do yourself a favor and get the whole series for the little girl in your life! "

" I love this series so much! I've read each one at least three times. "

" Another trip down memory lane :) "

" I picked this up for the first time at age 26 - and loved it:) Perhaps I'm a sucker for the reminescent. Nothing wrong with a tale of friendship, right? If you'd like to be whisked back to the early 1900s and meet your childhood best friend there - pick up Betsy-Tacy! "

" Apparently I am named after this book. My mom read it when she was little and said the name sounded like Stacy when she read it. She thought she was the originator of the name Stacy....PS i dont really like my name:) "

" Sometimes my childhood taste is still reliable.(read: 10) "

" Super cute start to a series I had never heard of before reading this. "

" This rings a bell as a childhood favorite, I'll have to re-read it sometime! "

" Norah and I loved this. Hardly anything happens, but it's such a sweet little book...made me glad to have a daughter, and that she's getting old enough to like some of the same things I liked when I was a little girl. "

" Definitely for the younger set, but still enjoyable for the idiosyncrasies that children have when trying to make new friends and play. "

" Such a darling, fast read. I want my girl (and my boy!) to have a great friend like this and have imaginary adventures like Betsy and Tacy do. "

" Was introduced to it as an adult bu my stepmom...now all my girls have grown up with Betsy and Tacy! "

" A very sweet children's book. "
