When I was a wee little lass and learning to read - I had a really tough time. I was in the "Special reading group" for those who had a tough time reading. Words were hard gosh darn it! Well being the girl that I am and always have been - I grabbed every book I could and took it by the throat and beat it into submission. I read and read until suddenly I found myself transported by books rather than in a grudge match. The school I went to was tiny - and they actually wouldn't let you read certain books until you were old enough. I have no idea why exactly they did this - but they did. So when I was old enough to read from the "Big kids side" of the library (Which I believe was 3rd and 4th graders btw) my friend Rebecca told me about the Betsy books and I checked them out - one after another - and read them ragged. 30 years later I am working at a used bookstore and suddenly in my hands is Betsy's Little Star! I was so excited to see my old friend! I bought the book that day (It was even a library edition!!!) and read it. Awesome to revist this book. I will probably try and collect them all one of these days.
