I was thrilled at the chance to read & review The boxcar Children. I remember reading this as a kid, along with Nancy Drew & the Bobbsey Twins & all the other great children's series. I daydreamed about how much fun it would be to swim in the pond, and have a campfire & sleep outside all the time. Reading it as an adult, it was equally just as good, just as fun, and still made me dream about how much fun it would be! I would love to hunt down other books in the series to reread them.
