My children loved all the stories, while my own favorite is clearly the first one, "Mitzi Takes a Taxi". The stories are well structured, leading to conclusions that are logical yet surprising.
We are American expats, assigned to Tokyo for a few years. Because of the vocabulary, structure and enjoyable stories, this book is also well-liked by Japanese moms that want to read books in English to their children.

I read this book to both my children when they were little, then to my grandson, and send it as a gift to the older child of the family when a younger child is born. I love this book as did my children and grandson. In fact I have to order a new one, I have kept the first book I read to my daughter, who is not 27 and the mother of my grandchild. The book is fun to read and the pictures are interesting and fun as well.

I recently came across Tell Me A Mitzi in a story book called You Read to me & I'll Read to You. Looking at the illustrations brought me back to my childhood! It was an amazing feeling, I had forgotten all about Mitzi's "trip" in a taxi. I loved Tell Me A Mitzi as a young girl and I love it now as a mom of 3 girls.
