Two and Two Are Four: A Charming Book About Making Friends and Exploring Farm Life for Kids (Ages 6-9) (Odyssey/Harcourt Young Classic)

From Carolyn Haywood, author of the beloved Betsy series, here are four more classics for young readers. These adorable stories of childhood adventures are as fresh today as when they were written more than a half century ago. And now, thanks to dynamic new covers, they're ready to charm a whole new generation of readers.

When Teddy and Babs move to the country from the big city, they're in for a lot of good times. They become best friends with Peter and Jane, and together the four children explore country life--complete with cows and chickens, a real circus pony, and a barnyard chase with a very muddy end!

CAROLYN HAYWOOD (1898-1990) was a native of Philadelphia. One of America's most popular authors of children's books, she published her first book, "B" Is for Betsy, in 1939, and wrote more than forty books in all. Many of her own childhood experiences can be found in her novels.
