The Boxcar Children Collection: The Chocolate Sunday Mystery/The Mystery on Blizzard Mountain/The Mystery of the Spiders Clue/The Ghost Ship Mystery

We have grown to love the Boxcar Children books, so these are no exception. Our first introduction to BCC was this past summer when I bought the very first book on CD to listen to on a road trip. My 6 year old son loved it and my four year old enjoyed it as well. After we listened to that one, I read these 4 aloud and we have since read many others. These are great for kids 6 and up. Even ones a little younger can listen along, but they're really geared more for first graders and up. The stories are exciting for young kids and each one has a mystery, but they're not scary at all and they're very timeless, even though some elements are a bit dated. The Boxcar Children characters are very polite and respectful and help each other out, so they model good behavior as well. Great books!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my son when he was 7. He is 10 and he still listens to these stories occasionally. They are really good for this age group. He loves them.

My children, ages 6yr and 9year, girl and boy, have loved these stories. They make travel in the car a pleasure!! The adventures are current and give great opportunities to discuss plot, character development, and climax. They are also well written and recorded beautifully!

I purchased this as a gift for my 7-year old granddaughter. It was a hit! She absolutely loved the stories and has listened to them several times already. I guess it is now time to buy more Boxcar Children.

These stories from Gertrude Chandler Warner are a wonderful escape into a child right dream world. My children (7 and 8 years old) love them and listen to them over and over again. I really do recommend them as a great alternative to too much TV and video games. The beautiful thing is that the children can play with something, like model magic, and listen to the stories. Try it!!!
