About this ebook

Best Friends Forever

There are lots of children on Hill Street, but no little girls Betsy's age. So when a new family moves into the house across the street, Betsy hopes they will have a little girl she can play with. Sure enough, they do—a little girl named Tacy. And from the moment they meet at Betsy's fifth birthday party, Betsy and Tacy becoms such good friends that everyone starts to think of them as one person—Betsy-Tacy.

Betsy and Tacy have lots of fun together. They make a playhouse from a piano box, have a sand store, and dress up and go calling. And one day, they come home to a wonderful surprise—a new friend named Tib.

Ever since their first publication in the 1940's, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.

I live and work in Mankato, Minnesota. Mankato is the town Deep Valley is based on. So I decided it was time I read the Betsy-Tacy books. A friend of mine who is very interested in the historical value of the books encouraged me to start with Betsy And Tacy Go Downtown. It was so much fun to read the books and know just what places they are referencing. I've been to the Carnegie Library. I've been to the restored Betsy house and the restored Tacy house. I know the area. It was like a step back in time. If you love the books and like to travel I suggest a trip to Mankato, Minnesota. The Betsy-Tacy Society will take good care of you! And you can pick up one of my friend Julie Schrader's guide books to discovering Deep Valley. Enjoy!
