The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Here is another winning Betsy story about the summer when she organizes a play school for the young children in the neighborhood. With characteristic warmth and genial humor, Carolyn Haywood tells how Betsy gathers her six pupils, acquires the necessary equipment, and handles the inevitable escapades. Although serious about her teaching responsibilities, Betsy enjoys a bit of nonsense as much as ever and has never been more appealing.
Betsy soon discovers that there's more to running a school than passing out milk and cookies. For one thing she must play hostess to a wide assortment of animals. The school is visited by baby mice and a mischievous kitten, and Rodney's make-believe dog demands constant attention. Still, by the memorable last day, all the children have benefited from the friendships made. Even Rodney has discarded his imaginary companions for the many real ones that now surround him.
Illustrated with sensitive line drawings by an artist new to these books, Betsy's Play School is delightful reading that can only increase Miss Haywood's wide audience.
