Betsy-Tacy and Tib by Maud Hart LovelaceMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was definitely way better than the first. There are adventures were more sophisticated; which was great, but also wasn't. The simplicity was nice before, the more complex simplicity is good, too. 'm not sure which I like best. Either way, these were really sweet. My favorite part was when they cut off their hair and Tacy's mother saved Tacy's hair in her bureau drawer. I also loved Aunt Dolly. I would have loved to see a wealthy Victorian lady.
These books are also fun to see what it would have been like to be growing up in a suburban town in the East during the Victorian era. I would have loved to grow up with Betsy, Tacy, and Tib.
Overall, this book was really cute and holds a special place in my heart. Although, I wish they had given us more of the formulative years between early 6 and late 8 that would have given us a better view of their childhood. My favorite stage is from 6-9. I just think that she skipped a lot of important parts. I don't know if I will be as interested when they grow up, as I liked reading about their childhood playing. Anyways, this book was still truly sweet. But I think I might like the first one a bit better.
