the best of a good series

This was my favorite boxcar children, although I have since read about 50 more from the series. It's an exciting book. Many of my friends have liked it because of the humor, adventure, and mysteries. I think that you will like this heart-warming tale.

A MUST HAVE for all children

I recently purchased this book for my then 6 year old son. He loved it just as much as I did when I was a kid. The story is very timeless and simple enough to be uncomplicated for even the youngest reader. While also being interesting to older readers. My son even ended up choosing this book for a first grade book report. Love, love, love the characters and the whole story.

Wonderful, even for the little ones!

I read this book to my son as part of our homeschool curriculum for Kindergarten. Every night he has begged me to read one more chapter! He enjoyed listening to this book so much that he would rather pick up his toys than risk missing a night of The Boxcar Children! It was a huge motivator! I highly recommend it. My son has also informed me that when we finish (we read the final chapter tomorrow night), I am to put the book on the shelf and save it so he can read it himself when he's bigger!

a review

I liked this book well enough as a child. My mother read it and then I enjoyed the story. What I don't get is the name of the series. They only lived in a boxcar for the first book, so why are they still called the boxcar children? Will anyone ever let them live down the fact they had to make their home in a boxcar? Geeze.

Read by Phyllis Newman
Two cassettes / 1 hour 54 minutes

Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny, four orphaned brothers and sisters, suddenly appear in a small town. No one knows who these young wanderers are or where they have come from. Frightened to live with a grandfather they have never met, the children make a home for themselves in an abandoned red boxcar they discover in the woods. Henry, the oldest, goes to town to earn money and buy food and supplies.

Ambitious and resourceful, the plucky children make a happy life themselves--until Violet gets too sick for her brothers and sister to care for her.

This unabridged recording will delight any child who has fantasized about being on his or her own and overcoming every obstacle.
