Bonnie is more than ready to join her older sisters and brother in the many adventures she sees come their way, whether it be sliding along the ice, searching for arrowheads, or going on that journey of all journeys-across the swinging bridge to school.

No one would accuse 11-year-old Caddie Woodlawn of being dainty and ladylike. In spite of her mother’s best efforts, Caddie is as wild as the wind, playing freely and rambunctiously with her two brothers in the Wisconsin backwoods. There are rafts to build and trees to climb and pranks to play. Caddie especially likes to watch her friend Indian John build birchbark canoes at the river. Every day seems wide with possibility - as wide as the frontier. But living on the edge of civilization has its risks, too....

A winner
Would you listen to Betsy-Tacy again? Why?
Yes, my 4 year old granddaughter and I have listened to the book over and over again, as we drive back and forth from her house to mine.
What other book might you compare Betsy-Tacy to and why?
This book is incomparable. A classic
What does Sutton Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She has a musical voice, very clear and pleasing to the ear. Much of the pleasure of listening is her perfect intonation.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, one chapter at a time is usually best for a four year old.
Any additional comments?
I think this book teaches children very quietly and indirectly about what it means to have an imagination and about the ways that children can entertain themselves without many toys or outside forms of entertainment.

Wonderful narration of a classic children's story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Children have loved the Betsy-Tacy series for decades. I had heard of the books but somehow never read any of them as a child. I checked the first book out of the library for my daughters and we all fell in love with the series. They were very excited to discover the audiobook version. Sutton Foster is the perfect narrator for this book.
Any additional comments?
I hope the publishers are planning audiobook versions of the rest of the Betsy-Tacy series, hopefully with Sutton Foster narrating again.
