Busy Betty
Busy Betty | Reese Witherspoon
1 post | 2 read
From Academy Award–winning actress, founder, and bestselling author, Reese Witherspoon, comes Busy Betty, a story about a creative, curious, and exuberant young girl who has big plans and an even bigger heart. Busy Betty has always been busy . . . even when she was just a baby! When Betty gives Frank a big hug, she realizes he needs a bath, PRONTO! Her best friend, Mae, is coming over, and Betty can’t have the smelliest dog in the whole world! But giving Frank a bath is harder than she thought and just when everything seems impossible, with Mae’s help, Betty learns she can accomplish anything with perseverance, teamwork, and one great idea. From Reese Witherspoon comes a smart and larger-than-life character who encourages young readers to celebrate what makes them unique and realize that anything is possible! Praise for Busy Betty: "A fun and high-spirited story for the fans of Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious, or Freckleface Strawberry."--School Library Journal "An earnest and unabashed celebration of youthful entrepreneurial zeal that feels very of the moment." --Publishers Weekly "Extreme angles effectively convey a sense of perpetual motion. . . . Witherspoon’s rollicking text never holds back . . . . as Betty says, “Being busy is a great way to be.” Young readers are sure to agree."--Kirkus reviews

The language in this #PictureBook is fun, and I really like the illustrations. Betty has to stay busy all the time and has to remind herself to focus on one task at a time and finish the task. Sage advice. But, I‘m not sure about the message about starting a business. So-so read for me. #BBRC #LetterB

LibrarianRyan It's interesting to see when celebrities' write kids books. The way they mix ideas. I can not remember if I have read this one or not. 2mo
Librarybelle @LibrarianRyan Yes! It was an interesting correlation between being busy and using that extra busyness to create a business. I‘m not sure how I felt about that angle for a picture book… 2mo
