Betsy-Tacy and Tib
Betsy-Tacy and Tib | Maud Hart Lovelace
14 posts | 22 read | 2 to read
Three of a Kind Betsy and Tacy are best friends. Then Tib moves into the neighborhood and the three of them start to play together. The grown-ups think they will quarrel, but they don't. Sometimes they quarrel with Betsy's and Tacy's bossy big sisters, but they never quarrel among themselves. They are not as good as they might be. They cook up awful messes in the kitchen, throw mud on each other and pretend to be beggars, and cut off each other's hair. But Betsy, Tacy, and Tib always manage to have a good time. Ever since their first publication in the 1940s, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.

Packing for a quick weekend getaway. Four books seems reasonable right? 😁

Graywacke Looks good. Although, you never know when you‘ll stumble across 100 free hours of reading on a two day getaway. At least that seems to how i always plan. 8mo
Suet624 Just map out where the nearest bookstore is in the event you need it 8mo
Ruthiella Maybe just one more? 😆 8mo

merelybookish @Graywacke Exactly! One needs to be prepared! 8mo
merelybookish @Suet624 Oh a visit to the bookstore is definitely on the docket! 8mo
merelybookish @Ruthiella Lol! I think you're right. 😉 8mo
merelybookish @BarbaraBB haha. Yes, it's risky. 😆 8mo
merelybookish @LeahBergen Oh I wish! Currently depending on the NB public library system and they don't have the whole series. 🙄 8mo

Two of my favorite books are on sale for #kindle today. #BetsyTacy #KindleDeal #ebook

MaureenMc I was intrigued by Mrs. Muir. I‘ll definitely pick it up now (I always trust your recommendations!). 1y
mabell Oh perfect season to try the Ghost and Mrs. Muir! 1y
rubyslippersreads @MaureenMc What a nice compliment. ☺️ After you‘ve read it, you might want to watch the movie with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. 1y

rubyslippersreads @mabell Tis the season! 👻 1y
dabbe @rubyslippersreads I've seen the movie TONS of times and love it! Is the book close in plot to the movie? 🤩 1y
rubyslippersreads @dabbe Yes and no. I love the book, but I think I love the movie even more. ❤️ 1y
LeahBergen Two that you‘ve already made me buy in the past! 😆😆 1y
dabbe @rubyslippersreads That's unusual, isn't it? But hey, it's Tierney and Rexie! BTW, I had a huge crush on him after this movie, MY FAIR LADY, and even DR. DOLITTLE! 🤩🤩🤩 1y
rubyslippersreads @dabbe Did you know his nickname used to be “Sexy Rexy”? 🤣 1y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I‘m an enabler. 😹 1y
dabbe @rubyslippersreads No! Well, that makes me feel better, having my crush on a guy that was 60+ years old when I was 13! 🤩🤣😃 1y
MaureenMc @rubyslippersreads I really should. I love Rex Harrison! (edited) 1y

Who else would I showcase for #BestFriendsDay but the Immortal Trio themselves, Betsy, Tacy, and Tib! These girls stay friends throughout all of the changes that life throws at them. They are each fiercely individual but never fail to support one another, and when the series finally ends, with all gathered together under the Big Hill, I cry every. single. time. #BestFriends #JamminJune #BoundTogetherJune #MaudHartLovelace #betsytacy

This one is so good to have on hand in case you want to try an onion sandwich, stir up a floating island, or sample some of the Crowd's fudge. Shout-out to the "Listren" who put together this gem! Fans of #maudhartlovelace are just the best. #inthekitchen #FallIntoReading #betsytacy

Congratulations, @staci.reads on this magical milestone. #mybookmyfriend made me immediately think of the Betsy-Tacy books. Friendship is such an important element in this series, and I‘ve made lots of friends (both online and IRL) through the Betsy-Tacy Society.

staci.reads I've never actually heard of this series, but it sounds charming! Thanks for entering! 6y

LeahBergen How are you enjoying them? 6y
SarahMillerBooks @LeahBergen I think the earliest ones are best encountered before age 6. 😉 All the playing pretend is sweet, but not so compelling as it would have been 30-some years ago. I‘m eager to see what happens as they start growing up a bit. 6y
LeahBergen @SarahMillerBooks I felt much the same way. Once I hit book 5 I thought, “Ahhh, now THIS is where I would‘ve become obsessed as a child”. 😄 6y
SarahMillerBooks @LeahBergen Would anything terrible happen if I...skipped a couple volumes? 🤫 6y

The inseparable Betsy-Tacy and Tib popped into my head when I saw @TheSpinecrackersBookClub photo challenge on #favbookishfriendships. The classic Lois Lenski illustrations are the best. ❤️👭 #augustphotochallenge
