Betsy-Tacy by Maud Hart LovelaceMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sweet book for children, but not saccharine. For example, Betsy is not thrilled with her new baby sister:
"She didn't know why she was crying except that everything was so queer. Her mamma in bed, a strange woman around, the room smelling of medicine and that unnecessary baby. 'It's a perfectly unnecessary baby,' Betsy said aloud. 'I'm the baby.'"
The illustrations by Lois Lenski are delightful.
