I loved those books! Thanks for all your work finding information and putting it together. I remember many summer days spent sitting in the yard, reading those books.Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-3467455573968008172011-02-20T20:01:18.722-05:002011-02-20T20:01:18.722-05:00Good day, my group is simply establishing our firs...Good day, my group is simply establishing our first web site, looking and working out what is needed.

Both the Penny-centric volumes (the other being That Kitten Again!) seem different from the others; always wondered if they were written by someone else.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-38446457103247120672009-06-06T11:01:36.073-04:002009-06-06T11:01:36.073-04:00I had almost all of these books and I loved them. ...I had almost all of these books and I loved them. I liked Tina the best because she was an older sister, like me. My favorite volume was The Turn-About Summer. Father takes Mother on a vacation without the children. They hire an older woman to sit for them, and she does just that. Sit. As a result, by the end of the summer, the Tucker kids are much more independent when Mother comes back well-rested.<br /><br />I'd forgotten that they used to stick those Whitman books right in the toy section.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-83079334046187882982008-06-09T18:54:00.000-04:002008-06-09T18:54:00.000-04:00I found your blog via Semi-colon and I'm reading e...I found your blog via Semi-colon and I'm reading every post. I'll comment here (since no one else did) and tell you how much I loved The Tuckers as a child. Especially Penny - she as my favourite. Although Merry and Tom were close seconds. The Cottage Holiday was my favourite. I also adored the Betsy-Tacy series. I can't believe you gave them away - until I saw your name - of course the only reason you could give them away - you're a boy. :)<BR/><BR/>I love your blog. I love children's books. I'm a recently retired teacher-librarian who bought the whole Betsy-Tacy series for her library.Islandsparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474765495506044446noreply@blogger.com
