Three friends, one neighborhood

When Tib joins Betsy and Tacy’s friendship, the three girls turn ordinary neighborhood play into a string of misadventures. Their schemes include making a mess in the kitchen, pretending to be beggars, and cutting one another’s hair, while their disagreements are more likely to involve the older sisters than one another. The description presents a childhood world built around shared games, small-scale mischief, and the closeness of a trio. As part of the Betsy-Tacy series, the book centers on the girls’ friendship and everyday escapades.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children around ages 9–12 interested in friendship stories
  • Readers who enjoy books about childhood games and harmless mischief
  • Those looking for a historical-fiction setting in the United States during the 20th century

Book overview

Three of a Kind
Betsy and Tacy are best friends. Then Tib moves into the neighborhood and the three of them start to play together. The grown-ups think they will quarrel, but they don't. Sometimes they quarrel with Betsy's and Tacy's bossy big sisters, but they never quarrel among themselves.
They are not as good as they might be. They cook up awful messes in the kitchen, throw mud on each other and pretend to be beggars, and cut off each other's hair. But Betsy, Tacy, and Tib always manage to have a good time.
Ever since their first publication in the 1940s, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.
