This is the first book Carolyn Haywood wrote. On an historical note, it is interesting that in this book (written in 1939) the children's first year of school is first grade, but in Betsy's Little Star (written in 1950) the first year of school is kindergarten.
We really enjoyed "B" is for Betsy. It is full of fun with some suspense. K.'s favorite chapter was "How Betsy went to pick violets and got into trouble". One thing I really like about Carolyn Haywood's books is that the children call the adults Mr. or Mrs. It is really nice to read books that reinforce that.
