Betsy-Tacy (Betsy-Tacy #1)
Maud Hart Lovelace, Lois Lenski
- Reading
- Read together in short sittings if that suits your child, pausing to notice the children’s games and how they include a newcomer.
- Themes
- Friendship and welcoming someone new: Betsy and Tacy become close through shared activities, and later meet Tib, who becomes another friend. Friendship is central to the story, but the available plot details do not show how the book evaluates particular ways of being a friend.
- Worth knowing
- The full story’s conflicts and ending are unclear.
