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!
I never thought I would have a child who hated to read -- both my husband & I love reading and were avid readers as children.
However, 1 of our boys just hates to read his required minutes for school and it's a fight every week. :(
As a result, he's falling behind his peers in this area.
I read online about this series & thought it was an affordable price so why not give it a try since other parents reported success.
I'm happy to report we are BOTH loving reading these books!! It's the only thing so far to hold his attention, and he even announced to me recently he wants every single book & to read them in order. What a pleasant surprise!
My granddaughter just started reading her first Boxcar book, and was thrilled to receive this set from me for Christmas. We read it together, and she loved the story so much she began making a list of the supplies she would need to live in a boxcar! I remember enjoying it that much at her age, too, but only had one of the books. It was great to be able to gift her with a set of four for Christmas!
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.
