Product ReviewsHarriet the Spy - Paperback By Fitzhugh, Louise - GOOD

Harriet is an old friend

I have read this book literally over 100 times and still get something out of it, even as old as I am now. The book isn't necessarily for everyone (like her second book definitely is not), but it is truly my favorite book of all time. I read my way through five or six copies and I'm not one who treats books shabbily. They just started falling apart from all the reading. I'm glad the original pictures are back in the book (the new one is just wrong). If you've seen the movie, you absolutely MUST read the book, as you will have greater insight into Harriet and her world (and Ole Golly looks NOTHING like Rosie O'Donnell).Read full review...

A classic from childhood full of good memories

This is the original version (1981). I remember reading it when I was young and just laughing my head off. We were actually assigned the book in 3rd grade I think it was for vocabulary reasons, but that did not matter. I would be in my room by myself just cracking up out loud to the point of tears sometimes. Especially the Onion part (perhaps it is the imagination of a child but that one was just the best). I purchased this to share with my daughter who seems to be developing quite a passion for reading, especially together and this seemed like a good choice both for reading readiness and to share something with her from my childhood. Highly recommended.Read full review...

Harriet the Spy: Still a Fun Read Decades Later!

My sister and I read this 50 years ago, and we still enjoy it. The book looked virtually unread, so I was very pleased.
