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!

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!
