This was one of my favorite books as a kid. I reread it today for a trip down memory lane, and it was just as wonderful as I remembered!
Elizabeth Ann (or Betsy, as she is later called) is the epitome of child-like wonder. She looks at the world and sees all of the wonders that it can hold, and doesn't shy away from new experiences even if they make her nervous.
If I ever have kids, I'm reading them this book. I get the feeling it will never stop being relevant.
