Betsy is scared about going to first grade, but it turns out school is a great place. She learns about tadpoles and the true meaning of Thanksgiving, makes new friends, and has more fun than she'd ever imagined.
Carolyn Haywood's stories about her irrepressible character Betsy have never been out of print, and now, thanks to dynamic new covers, the Betsy books will find their way onto the bookshelves of modern young readers—and into the hearts of a whole new generation.

In these reissues of Haywood's popular books from the forties, Betsy and her friends exchange May baskets, the neighborhood policeman (Irish, of course) is everyone's friend, and there's an old woman who sells fresh pretzels for a penny outside the schoolyard gate. The nostalgia market may be the ultimate destination for these books that depict an impossibly innocent time.
