1) Paperback Book The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, No. 1) (Boxcar Children) by Albert Whitman & Company. This is one of those books that is without a doubt an absolute classic. Every time I read it I love it more. It has everything a good adventure story should have--runaways, danger, mysteries, living in an abandoned boxcar. And yet none of it is too threatening, which makes it perfect for young readers. Warner´s stye is one that is no longer seen, but it´s a marvelously understated way of telling a great story while still maintaining decent emotion.¤ 2) Paperback Book The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, No. 1) (Boxcar Children) by Albert Whitman & Company. 3rd grade reader says, "This book is about four children who keep running away from people after losing both parents during the depression. First, they run away from their grandfather because they picture him as old. They think this means he will only bully them and make them do his chores. Second, they run away from a bakery because they don´t trust the baker´s wife to not call a foster home, which would allow their grandfather to find them. Finally, they create a safe place to live away from everyone - in an old box car with stuff from a dump. Then they build a friendship with a man and his friend, but the friend turns out to be their grandfater in desquise. They go home with him, bringing the box car with them. This book teaches not to judge people by how they look and how we need a safe place before we can trust."¤ 3) Paperback Book The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, No. 1) (Boxcar Children) by Albert Whitman & Company. 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.¤ 4) Paperback Book The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, No. 1) (Boxcar Children) by Albert Whitman & Company. 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.¤ 5) Paperback Book The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, No. 1) (Boxcar Children) by Albert Whitman & Company. 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.¤ 6) Paperback Book The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, No. 1) (Boxcar Children) by Albert Whitman & Company. 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.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 28-Aug-2008, 08075085279780807508527, 270-430-140-130-430-640-G6B-8
