Betsy's little star

by Carolyn Haywood

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?
