Boxcar Children - great story
The Boxcar Children was my very favorite story during my youth. Now that I have grandchildren of my own, I introduced the story of my eldest grand daughter, who at that time was 4 years of age. Now, she is 5 1/2 and still wants me to read the book to her. I read it off my Kindle - no colored illustrations - just a great story line that feeds the imagination. This summer, I purchased, Zetta, her own hard copy. She is starting to read and now has the book at her fingertips. The Boxcar Children is now a third generation favorite in our family!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A very good book. light enough for kids to hold without getting too heavy
In the past I have purchased The Boxcar Children books for my grandchildren. And now I am going to start purchasing them for my Great Grandchildren. Kids love to listen to them and love to read them. Clean, healthy stories. I highly recommend them.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cover matched ad
I specifically purchase this Boxcar Children because I like the old cover (which looks friendly and happy) better than the new cover (which looks scary, even terrifying). I was pleased that the cover matched the description in the ad. My kids (age 5 and 6) now are excited to read Boxcar Children!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

My all time favorite childhood book!
my FAVORITE childhood book. I bought it for my book-worm grand daughter because she can't have my old copy (yet). This book spawned dozens of daydreams for me, and I loved looking at the world through a box car. I am not a fan of the series that follow, but I love love love the original This is a paperback copy but well worth the money and compels me to read it again before I give it away!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Some stories never get old.
As a little girl, i read this and loved it! I continued with the entire series. I raised my grand daughter and read it to her each night. She loved to talk about it the next day. Now i am raising my great-grand daughter and always look forward to a new chapter.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Happy Grandchildren
My daughter has been reading this series to her children. They had been checking them out of the library and had to make the books last until the next trip. They all grabbed books to sit down to read when they opened the box. Worth every penny!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Wonderful children’s book
I read it to my class of second graders in the 90s and recently to my 7 year old granddaughter. It never fails to capture their interest even all the years after it was written. TimelessVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
