Search - The Boxcar Children (Boxcar Children, Bk 1)

an old-fashioned tale of four orphans who set out to make it on their own. Reading level 3, and a great read aloud for 6 and 7 year olds.

One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. No one knew them. No one knew where they came from.

Four orphan children set out to find a safe place to live and discover an old red boxcar that shelters them from a storm.

This is the first book in a wonderful series of books fromt the boxcar children!

An excellent read... even for adults! I read this long ago and still have fond memories!

My son (age 9) had to read this for summer reading. He is a "reluctant reader", but really enjoyed this story.
We will be getting more of this series in the future.

Unfortunately, the dialogue reads like Dick and Jane.

Love this book! Great book about 4 orphans who want to stay together and their fun adventures together. They are so sweet and really look out for each other! A book that you can let your kids read without worrying that they pick up any bad character flaws from it. My 6 year old wanted to read it again, as soon as we were done with it.
