Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy and Tacy go Downtown
When I was little (and until fairly recently, really), I only owned the first three Betsy-Tacy books and read them over and over. I used to get the others from the library (I distinctly remember where they were shelved in the children's room) but hadn't read them in years and years until they came back into print in like 2006, so rereading this one was a real pleasure--I didn't remember most of the plot points until they started to converge in the last couple of chapters (and there are some great plot points in this one). These books are wholly charming and I'm so glad they're available again.
