The Dinosaur Mystery (Boxcar Children Mysteries) 3 reviews
Albert Whitman & Company, 1995
Great!!
I first began reading the Boxcar Children Mysteries when I was 7. I thought of them as the best books ever. This one was no disappointment. The story is just perfect. I have no problems with it at all. I recommend that you read it, no matter who you are. It is mostly for ages 7-12, but also adults and seniors will enjoy it. Terrific!!!!

I did some researce about the author and found that she died years before sport ballooning became ...

Gertrude Chandler Warner
Albert Whitman & Company, 1993
The best Boxcar Children Book!
This is one I remember from my childhood, and I have to protest I beleive it is the best Boxcar Childrens book made! The plop is VERY grabbing and interesting - and of course the thought of pizza makes you HUNGRY sometimes. The book is so well written, and will keep your attention so much that you can even smell the ingredients that the Piccolo family (the owners of the Pizzeria) are using.
