Betsy-Tacy (-60th Anniversary)
Betsy-Tacy (-60th Anniversary) | Maud Hart Lovelace
43 posts | 49 read | 15 to read
There were lots of children on Hill Street, but there were no little girls Betsy's age. So when a family moved into the house across the street, Betsy hoped they would have a little girl she could play with. Sure enough, they did. The girl's name was Tacy, and after a while she and Betsy became such good friends that everybody thought of them as one person - Betsy-Tacy. Betsy-Tacy did all kinds of things. They made a playhouse from a piano box. They went to their first day of school together and even sat in the same seat. They rode in the milkman's wagon. And Betsy made up wonderful stories that they kept as their own special secrets. Then they met Tib, who came to share in their games. Ever since their first publication in the 1940s, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.

#SummerSouls When I think Picnic, my mind always goes to Betsy and Tacy. Their tradition of picnics started on the bench by Author Maud Hart Lovelace's house. I was thrilled to get to visit on a warm summers day in 2016. 😎

rubyslippersreads It‘s a wonderful feeling to sit on that bench. 😍 6mo
Eggs Oh wonderful! I‘m green 🌿 with envy! I read & reread those books so many times🩷💗🩷 6mo

Big into rereads and comfort reads right now. Just revisited this delight and wish ALL the Betsy-Tacy books were available on audio. (They're not.)

MaureenMc My 12 yo listens to this one every night to fall asleep. I definitely wish they had more of the series on audio! 7mo
LeahBergen Oh, I‘ll have to listen to this! I love the series. 7mo
merelybookish @LeahBergen I've only ever read this one and was ready to plough through the entire series! Hence the disappointment! 7mo
merelybookish @MaureenMc How sweet! Makes me happy it still connects with a 12 year-old! 7mo

Listen up, #BetsyTacy fans! The next B-T Convention is coming for us! Mankato 2025, will I see you there? #MaudHartLovelace #BetsyTacyAndTib #BetsyTacyTib #EmilyOfDeepValley #DeepValley

MaureenMc I did not know this convention existed. Is it annual?? I am seriously considering trying to make this work. Thanks for posting! 9mo
LeahBergen Oh, this would be fun!! 🤩 9mo
Andrea313 @MaureenMc It happens every few years- 2009, 2012, and 2018 have been the most recent. There was supposed to be one in 2020, but we all know how that ended. Finally, finally it's coming around again, and I'll be sure to keep posting about it! If you're in Facebook, you can follow "The Betsy-Tacy Convention" for updates. 9mo

Like peanut butter and jelly, cake and ice cream, and milk and cereal, Betsy and Tacy just *go* together! We meet these beloved protagonists when they are just five years old in the book my guest — the fabulous author Laura Hankin — and I discuss on this week‘s episode of my book podcast, which is called Betsy-Tacy. Tune in to our conversation about all things childhood and friendship at the link in my bio! ❤️

In spite of how many times I‘ve read this book, I‘ve never tried apple pie with cheese (I prefer it a la mode. 😊) #piday

Anyway, hope everyone is well and that the upcoming week goes smoothly. 🤗

I was rather unsure of how my kids would react to this little gem from my childhood. It is very much a different type of story than we usually read. The verdict? They loved it! I guess a good book is always a good book, no matter how old.

What is Goodreads smoking? In no way does a grisly murder mystery about a psychopath who cuts his victims' limbs off in any way go with what looks like a sweet children's book. Unless Betsy turns out to have a predilection for body parts....

Gezemice Lol! I found that Goodreads recommendations suck big time. I had a category in my reading challenge to read one this year, and it took me three tries - the third time I went for a graphic novel, I figured it would at least be short, lol, but it turned out quite good, too. 8y

It's BFF day, which is a good excuse to share Betsy-Tacy books! These are dear, old-fashioned stories of scrapes and friendships set in the late 1800s/early 1900s, and we might do a series readalong on GoodReads at some point. (BATGW photo because I always liked the books where she's older better.)

misswendyd @Imagineannie A fellow fan, I take it? :) 8y
misswendyd @brendanmleonard You should! The younger books are so gentle and lovely, but then the series takes on war and feminine independence as the protagonists grow older. 8y
misswendyd @ChrisM Ohhh that's so lovely! Has she read the books yet? A good heroine to be named for. 8y
misswendyd @AlisonCanRead I have a similar experience; I read them as a kid but only vaguely remembered the Chrirtmas gift that Betsy and Joe exchanged that one year. I then read them as an adult right out of college, and I def enjoy the older books more as well! 8y
misswendyd @Mystic.Archives.Of.Dantalian Oh, thank you! I wish they'd reissue these in pretty hardbacks, I'd love to have sturdier editions. 8y
misswendyd @LeahBergen @Shannonbee Oh, please do check them out sometime! They're one of the few children's series that follows a character from early childhood all the way to adulthood, which is hard to pull off but so rewarding. If you like, I'd be happy to tag you if we set a date for the readalong, too. 8y

Mystic.Archives.Of.Dantalian Ahh! the innocence of youth! This is a really cute set of books about two little girls who become best friends.
