More than anything, Star wants to go to school - but she's not old enough. Every morning she watches her big sister Betsy, and all her friends, walk to school, and wishes she could go with them. But Star can't stay sad. She's too busy having adventures! One day she does go to school - in a milk truck! On Halloween, she and her friends play a funny trick - and scare the big kids. Then Star finds Butch, a new friend who's just her age. Butch and Star discover something terrific - that makes all the other children wish they could stay home from school too! When her birthday comes, Star has only one wish - for a very special present. Will her wish come true?

Lizzie didn't love this. She said it was because instead of one whole story, it was a collection of smaller stories about Star. I have a feeling the little girls will give it a higher rating when they get to it, since Lizzie is really too old for the book. She remembered reading others in Haywood's Betsy collection and read this since she remembered enjoying those in the past.

I still have my copy of this book, which actually belonged to my mother as a child. As you'd expect it's a fairly old hardcover book. I loved Betsy's Little Star and read it many times, including the times my mom read it to me. It was published in 1950, and as a child of the early 1980's there were many things about the time period that intrigued and enchanted me. It only enhanced my love of red shoes. Until recently, I didn't know there were any other books featuring these characters and to date this is the only one I've read that I know of, but I loved it.
