Review: What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge

What Katy Did is a classic story about a twelve year old tomboy named Katy. She has two brothers and three sisters. She is the oldest. Her mother is dead so her Aunt Izzy stays with them to take care of them. It is a very sweet story about Katy's tragic accident.


I give this a 5⭐️ As far as children's books go.

1: I so wanna live back then when 16-year-olds didn't feel awkward sitting on their moms lap. Life sounds so much simpler.

2: You get to love all the characters. Even Aunt Izzy who starts as a bit of a crank.

3: It was squeaky clean. I could totally let a seven year old read this with no worries.

4: It was funny at parts and sad at parts.  It captures emotions beautifully. Emotions that you don't have to be fifteen to understand.

5: My Favorite Person Ever in the books Cousin Helen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
