Chalk another mark in the column "books my BT friends told me to read for years that I'm just now getting around to--and am now kicking self for not reading sooner."
I adore each and every one of these characters. Cuffy cracks me up, Oliver is adorable (loved his adventure at the circus), and the rest of the family is just as fabulous.
Part of my love for this book is from my love of Betsy-Tacy Goes Downtown--Mona, Randy and Rush are at that moment in childhood where they begin to experience the world on their own. They make their way, make new friends (Mrs. Oliphant is fabulous), but are still very much kids.
I wish, wish, wish I had read these as a child. But at least I found them as an adult.
Will be reading the rest of the series soon.
