About this title

About the Author

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car―just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books―a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today the Boxcar Children series has more than one hundred books.

Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Relying on the popularity of the "Boxcar Children" chapter books, this series features the same characters, but is written in a toned-down, easy-reader style. This one tells the story of Sam, a two-year-old who visits the Boxcar household. The little boy tends to get into trouble, from spilling his cereal to locking himself in the bathroom. Sam's inability to use language correctly is overdone and becomes annoying, and the illustrations are average. A marginal purchase.
