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!

Growing up in North Carolina, my third grade teacher read this series to us and for the next couple of years our favorite game to play was Boxcar Children. Fast forward twenty-five years, and I'm 34 and now living in Connecticut... five miles away from the home of Gertrude Chandler Warner. There's even a Boxcar Children museum. I visit her grave every so often, just to pay tribute to the lovely lady who played such a vital role in my love for great literature.

This is the first book in the series. A story about orphans determined to make it on their own. Very good story for children of all ages.

Wonderful series of books for girls or for boys. My son really enjoys them and is tearing his way through the series.
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.

This is a great story for children! My children enjoyed it very much. It's about 4 children who parents die and they have to fend for themselves. It was very creative and well written!
This is a very good childrens book. It only took me two days to read it. I suggest this book to every kid that wants to start reading a series. I loved this book. As soon as i get the next one done I will post it!
I loved this as a child and I love sharing it with my kids!
