The Boxcar Children Bookshelf (The Boxcar Children Mysteries, Books 1-12)

Absolutely LOVE these books for my kiddos! Simple storylines with simple kid centered adventures. My daughter and I read the first book and she was hooked so we came to amazon to buy the box sets. For reference, she's 7 and in 1st grade so everything about these books is perfect for her! Easy reading while introducing chapter books to her that she cam actually read herself. The books sprinkle in harder words to give them a taste of tougher chapter books to come; but for where she is reading at currently, these are perfect. These books have been around for ages so I bought with confidence knowing my younger kids/cousins would be able to use them once my daughter moves on. Great addition to any children's library! Purchase them now!

My grandchildren will enjoy reading these during the summer! The paperbacks will be great for the beach and they are a treat to read to the younger children!

Wonderful stories! I had forgotten about these stories until my grown son reminded me of them. My 10 year old is not an avid reader.... until now. We got the first 12 books last night, she started reading the first one, she read until she fell asleep. She related the whole story to me and stopped on pg. 76, the first night!These are great stories for children. Once they start reading, they won't be able to put them down. I highly recommend these stories for children. They are in a format that makes reading quick and easy.

As advertised, in excellent condition and fast delivery.

What's NOT to say about this wonderful author?? I couldn't get enough of these books 45 years ago!! Truly humbling, back to the family core of which is so important for children of all ages and just flat out fantastic characters that take you into their world. When I saw this set I just had to get it for me!! Of course, I've already begun the series with 3 of the grand children and they are devouring it with me!! What joy it gives me to share something with them that has always held a special place in my child heart!! I can tell you with sincerity parents will enjoy these books as much as their children! And what a bond that can make... One of the biggest reasons I became an avid reader is because of Gertrude Chandler Warner and the price for this set is unbelievably fair!!!

My son loves to read and has seen the movies for the first two books. I got these for his birthday and he is consuming them rapidly. Great easy read for an 8 year old. He really enjoys the mystery and fun stories in them.

My granddaughter and I have been reading these for cuddle time for a couple years now. I had the first 12 digitally on my iPad which is dying and they are no longer available for download so I went looking for the set. I found out that Ms Warner wrote the first 19 (there are hundreds of others written by other people) and decided I'd get her those 19. These were $34 which was cheaper than I was finding them used. Amazon also had 13-16 which were over priced but I was willing to pay a little more for the convenience of completing the set. The last 3 volumes I found on ebay. I really like that they will all fit in this cute littel train car bookshelf along with a few others I've gotten her at the thrift stores over the years. I think my granddaughte is going to be so happy.

I wanted to share my love of the Boxcar Children when I was a girl in the 1960s with my grandchildren in the 2020s. They enjoy them, too. But I do have to explain how things were during the times featured in the books which was before my time! They are just amazed at the autonomy the Boxcar Children had.
