Read this book!

I like this book because it explains about the four main characters and their personalities. I also like this book becuase they are able to take care of themselves without much money. I also like how they find out about a man who they think might be mean, but turns out to be very very kind. I recommend this book to anyone who wants an introduction to the series. As a 3rd grader I really enjoyed this book.

Great Story for Children

I read this series when I was a kid. During summer breaks I would ride my bike 5 miles each way to the library just so I could check out the next book in the series.

Now that I'm a parent, my own kids are reading these stories and loving them as much as I did. In a time when much of the material presented to children is wrapped up in witchraft and alternative lifestyle pressures, I'm happy to see our kids reading something that is just harmless and fun.

By: Lyle Youmara

Well, well so you want to know about the Boxcar Children book by Gertrude Chandler Warner. So let's start. Well there are four kids that do not live with their parents like most other kids who have a mom and a dad. So they live with an old man who owns a bakery. He is the meanest man in the world. They also really don't like the man, and they are scared of him. The owner doesn't allow them to do any thing, like go out and play. They don't even get to play with each other. So one night they ran away from the old man and went into the woods so no one can find them. While they were on their own they found a very old box car which was just left there. So they decided to stay there. Now they have to get their own food.

There are the four kids living in a rusty old boxcar from a train but it just left there. There are woods all around them. There is a little town by them where they go to get food and to earn money. It is in the summer where it is pretty warm but is not too hot. There is a pond which they bathe in. And they wash their clothes in it. After a little while they start to really like it and they never want to leave.

The kids are very brave. And they trust one another and themselves. But they are a little scared because they are on their own and they have no parents to help them. Even the oldest brother is scared and he is 14 years old.
But all of them are very hard workers. They cut grass for the peoplein the town to get money to get food.

The kids are on their own and they have to stay together. They also have to fight all other odds, like wild animals and human beings, so they aren't found. They have to get their own food, they have to eat rotten food, and they never have fun. All they do is work, work, work.

Well you don't know if they will be found. Or maybe they will go back to the bakery. Or will the kids not make it though this warm summer? Or will they find someone in their family? Or will they get adopted? Well you never know unless you read the book?????????????????????

The Boxcar Children

This story is about four children whose parents have died and how they make their home in a boxcar. At the end of the book something very special happens that makes them all very happy. I think boys and girls would both enjoy this book.
