"Trying to get a young reader hooked on books requires a story that captures their interest but is written within their reading abilities. This series does just that. I purchased it for a Grandson who is 10, but not a great reader, and because he wants to know what happens next, so he keeps reading."

- These books are great! I bought this set for my 7 year old grandson. We read two chapters last night and he was completely engaged! On page 3 he says "grandma, I can see the children in my imagination! I see them walking down the road". By the time we got to the second chapter, he says "Why don't you read one page and I will read the next page". My plan is working! I am hoping that within a couple more evenings, he will want to read these books all by himself as he falls asleep. UPDATE night 3, we read the first 5 chapters together, and he wakes up the next morning telling me how the books end! After I left his bedroom - assuming he was going to sleep - he pulled out the last book in the series to find out what happens to the children! He couldn't wait to know! And the best part is he picked up the book on his own to read. I am super happy!
- Google this book. The original is available on gutenberg.org.
Read the original as written in 1924 as "Box-Car" with a hyphen.
Be amazed!
Read this watered down 1942 reissue.
Be appalled. Flat. Elements of survival and danger removed. Names of cities changed for no reason. Sad. By watering down the story the actions of the children seem less daring, less significant, less accomplished. - Bought these for my 8 year old niece who is not a native English speaker, and she LOVES the stories! They are nice stories and i actually enjoyed reading then with her. The characters in the books are respectful, sweet, and fit with my niece's family's conservative values. Highly recommend these books!
- The children are curious, humorous, and resourceful. This is a great example of the kind of literature that both stimulates young minds with excitement and provides an example of children who face challenges and solve those challenges without much adult intervention. I believe that it inspires a sense of agency in young readers, and my 6 year old son enjoys reading these with me. I expect that he will soon be reading them without me, and I'll miss that shared experience.
- I remember reading (and loving!) the Boxcar Children books when I was younger, so when my oldest daughter was old enough to enjoy reading chapter books, I immediately bought these for her. Just as I had hoped, they are a hit! We often read the books together before bed time and we cannot get enough of the good old fashioned adventure. I love the lack of cell phones and gizmos and gadgets in the books as the author, Gertrude Chandler Warner, began writing them in the 1940s. It has been years since I read the books on my own and I sometimes find myself reading ahead of where my daughter and I are in the books because I am anxious to know what is going to happen. They are simple and entertaining! We have given this particular box set as a gift on several occasions and the recipients have always come back and expressed how much they enjoyed the books as well. They are perfect for children who are just beginning to show interest in reading chapter books, or for younger children who are being read to by an adult. My one and only complaint about this set is the new cover artwork. I miss the covers from when I was a child! But that has no bearing on the stories themselves or the memories I have of reading them as a child, and now I am creating similar memories with my children.
- Love these books!! They are just so cute. My 8 year old reads these over the summer to keep his mind sharp. They are very easy reads but that's why we read them over the summer. Nothing too tough, but definitely cute.
- Trying to get a young reader hooked on books requires a story that captures their interest but is written within their reading abilities. This series does just that. I purchased it for a Grandson who is 10, but not a great reader, and because he wants to know what happens next, so he keeps reading.
- This is as great a set of books as is advertised. Bought them for my just turned 7 granddaughter and was concerned she wouldn't be ready for them, but she loves to take turn reading the different characters with me. She is excited that there are so many more stories we can get.
