Summary: This book was, just great!
Comment: What Katy Did is one of my all time favorite books! (And I have read a lot of books.) I have read all of the Katy books, What Katy Did, What Katy Did at School, and What Katy did Next, and What Katy Did is still my favorite. This is an amazing book!

Summary: A childhood staple
Comment: I can remember my mother reading this book aloud to me as a child; one chapter a night. It didn't take long for me to decide that I couldn't wait for her to get to the next installment. I credit this book (one of many) that led to my lifelong, love affair with reading. It's among the top five books I'm collecting now to read aloud to my own daughter. She may only be 2 months old; but, it's never too early to introduce little girls to Katy and family. This book will never go out of style...life lessons are always in vogue.

Summary: At first, I thought it was boring, but it was really FUN!
Comment: This story is about a completely UNladylike, and very unresponsible girl named Katy. She has 6 brother and sisters and they have fun together except that Katy is sometimes very bossy.. One day, she goes on a swing even when her Aunt Izzie (Katy's mother is dead so her Aunt Izzie is taking care of her family with Katy's father) tells her not to. Katy falls and gets a very serious sprain on her back so that she cannot get up for about 2 to 3 years.
Katy is very upset about this and she becomes grumpy and selfish but when her Cousin Helen (who is also very sick in like Katy but is pretty and is 'perfect' as Katy and her brothers and sisters say) comes and tells her that she cannot go on being like this, thinking only for herrself because she is hurt and that feeling self-piteous shows that she is not caring for others. Cousin Helen makes Katy into a new person after this conversation and Katy becomes pretty, ladylike, helpful, happy,very responsible, and patient. But one day, Aunt Izzie dies from a sudden fever and Katy almost goes back to her former being but remembers Cousin Helen's teaching and asks if she can become a housekeeper for Aunt Izzie. Her father is rather doubtful that she can do such a thing, but is very happy and proud when he sees that Katy has the patience and kindness to do it. From then on, Katy becomes the housekeeper.
After 2 or 3 years of pain and suffering is over, Katy suddenly feel as if she can walk. She jumps up but can only stand. She starts getting excited and every day, she tried standing without grabbing hold of her chair. Finally, after many long practices, she is able to walk all around the room. After some time after the triumph of being able to walk around the room, she thinks about gettting out of the room and go downstairs. She tells her family about this and when the day comes, her family prepares a suprise: Cousin Helen! Katy is delighted and becomes completely well after a few weeks.
This story is very fun to read. I especially liked the way Katy changes into a new woman. At first, as I said in the title, I thought this book was very boring, but it turned out to be very fun! I am now reading "What Katy Did at School" which is the next book.
