Betsy-Tacy

By: Maud Hart Lovelace

Narrated by: Sutton Foster

Betsy hopes that whoever moves into the house across the street will have a little girl just her age. And the little girl who moves in is just her age. Her name is Tacy. She is very bashful, but she likes to listen to Betsy's stories—wonderful stories that the girls love, and that they keep as their own special secret.

After a while, it's hard to remember a time when Betsy and Tacy weren't best friends.

amazing great for any age i love this Audible

Love it great for any age a little slow at the beginning but I love once you get in to it.

Perfect little story for all girls

Very heart warming. Love the characters. Wish it was longer with more chapters. Loved it!

The first of one of the best series of books!

Loved it! I want to listen to more from this series! I've read the books so many times. It is delightful to listen.

Special

Being a 24 year old, one might not think I’d enjoy this. However, after finishing “Little Women” for the millionth time, I needed something wholesome and quick to give me closure. This sure hit the spot. It was so sweet and the characters were well represented. My great-grandmother originally introduced me to LW, and I have a feeling she would’ve enjoyed this story, too.

A winner

Would you listen to Betsy-Tacy again? Why?

Yes, my 4 year old granddaughter and I have listened to the book over and over again, as we drive back and forth from her house to mine.

What other book might you compare Betsy-Tacy to and why?

This book is incomparable. A classic

What does Sutton Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She has a musical voice, very clear and pleasing to the ear. Much of the pleasure of listening is her perfect intonation.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, one chapter at a time is usually best for a four year old.

Any additional comments?

I think this book teaches children very quietly and indirectly about what it means to have an imagination and about the ways that children can entertain themselves without many toys or outside forms of entertainment.
