5 out of 5 stars by CRYSTAL M on 2009-10-28
This book is a must. My 8 year old can barely read and hates to read. I was almost in tears of joy when she immediatly took the book out of the box and started reading. even though she struggled with it, she kept reading! Anytime I had the family doing some chores, she soon snuck off to read some more. She finished it that day! Since then, she has been brave enough to try a few more books(as long as the words arn't too difficult) but this is an actual miracle! There is hope! I'm so glad I got this one.

A great classic! My kids loved this and were so enthralled with the story line, we couldn't put it down.

My kids really liked this book. THey begged me to read "another" chapter. We finished it in a couple days. I had a problem with the back story. Didn't understand what was going on with a rich grandfather they hadn't met before.

We read this when my son was six. Now, at 11, he's still reading Boxcar Children when he can find a new one at the library. Very good example of self-reliance and taking responsibility.

What I like is how smart the kids were, and how Henry got a job and how they kept their milk in the pond and took there baths in the pond. We are always keeping an eye out for the sequels. Sean S. (age 7)

My oldest was 5 years old when we first read this book. She has since read it over and over on her own and to her siblings. We have listened to an audio version as well. My children have spent hours acting this book out and pretending to be the different characters. A great first chapter book read aloud! This one will remain a family favorite for years to come!
