The first book in Maud Heart Lovelace’s magical series, Betsy-Tacy introduces readers to a pair of best friends who are always being swept along to their next adventure. Betsy Ray and Tacy Kelly (both age five at the beginning of the first novel) are so inseparable that the denizens of Deep Valley begin to think of them as one person, Betsy-Tacy.

They fill their days with dressing up, playing games with the other children of Hill Street, and trying to get the best of bossy older sisters. With the later edition of their new friend Tib (Betsy-Tacy and Tib), Betsy and Tacy dream about a foreign prince, put on a Flying Lady show, and make a new friend from a distant land in nearby Little Syria. Lois Lenski’s cheerful illustrations perfectly bring the happy-go-lucky trio to life .

Curious, creative, and daring as they are, Betsy, Tacy, and Tib are the perfect companions for any child who finds joy in the everyday adventures of growing up.

Recommended for readers of all ages.
