Betsy-Tacy submitted by yaldah on June 24, 2014, 1:03pm Betsy is a little girl, five years old, but she doesn't know any little girls her age. One day, a family moves in across the street, with a whole lot of children - including, Tacy, a little girl the same age as Betsy! They become best friends, and do all sorts of things together, from going to their first day of school, to picnicking on a hill near their houses, to making a playhouse out of a piano box, to making up stories to tell each other.
This is a very sweet book, and good for all ages. The later books in the series tell about Betsy and Tacy (and their new friend, Tib) as they grow older.

You'll Love It! submitted by cc on July 8, 2016, 4:12pm One of my favorite all time series for children, this book begins the friendship of Betsy and Tacy. A very sweet story!

Similar to Anne of Green Gables books submitted by Elizabeth Snively on June 26, 2021, 10:22pm Maud Hart Lovelace and L. M. Montgomery were alive and writing realistic fiction about the same time (just Montgomery was PEI, Canada, and Lovelace is Midwest USA. It follows the story of Betsy Ray from five years old to her first child. Her best friend, Tacy Kelly, is in almost every book which is why the series is named Betsy-Tacy. The books are shorter than the AoGG books but style very similar.
