I read this aloud to my daughters (ages 8, 6, and 4) and we all loved it. They can see themselves in the characters of Betsy, Tacy, and Tib and the ending of Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown was their favorite!

We stopped reading after making it through 3 or the 4 books in this treasury, because I think they were getting a bit too complex for my 5-year-old, but she really wants to keep going with them, and so do I—when she's a bit older, we'll definitely continue this delightful series, which rings so true, even 70 years later.

I really enjoyed this. It was only through friends that I ever heard about the Betsy-Tacy books, and finally got around to reading them. Now I know why they're so loved. These first four books in the series are so heartwarming, sweet and with a lovely sense of humour.
