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

This is the perfect set of readers for the young child who you many not want to expose to the magic element found in lots of other books aimed at earlier independent readers.At first I worried it would be sad because the boxcar children have lost their parents but they have anything but a sad life. Its full of adventure and deep caring for one another. They manage to be curious and resourceful, kind and gentle.Buy it, you will be happy you did!

Really great stories, old fashioned, good values, lovely characters. My 6 year old son, who is very new to "chapter books", is found reading these every morning in bed. Really pleased I stumbled across them and bought him the boxed set as I think it will help his love of reading develop.
