Reviews

Loved it!


(5 stars)

This original version of The Boxcar Children is much more in depth and delightful than the simplified books so many of us grew up with. The story has many great details that delight an imagination and endearing characters. Well read, too!

Daughter Loved This!


(5 stars)

My 9-year old daughter listened to it twice over and loved every moment of it. This reader (HannahMary) is pleasant to listen to. We all enjoyed it.

The Original Boxcar Children


(5 stars)

Such a sweet story, and so sweetly read. One could just hear the reader smiling! This alternate/original story was interesting to compare with the one I grew up reading. The altered names grated on my ear a bit as I had others so firmly fixed in my mind. But otherwise any different details were simply interesting. By now the story is so nostalgic for me!
