Bobbsey Twins 01: The Bobbsey Twins of Lakeport

I received the book in a timely manner; all pretty and brand new. I haven't read it yet. I wanted it for a keepsake. When I was in the fourth grade I read the most books that year and won an edition of the Bobsey Twins and loved them ever since.

I grew up in the late 1960's when you could purchase the Bobbsey Twins books at the S.S.Kresge dimestore chain. The books were inexpensive, wholesome fun. I went through my cousin's copies like a tiny tornado. I was disappointed when the 1960's edition books were no longer available for print in the late 1970's early 1980's. Imagine my delight while shopping at our local Walmart with my daughter when I spied a display of the Classic Edition Bobbsey Twins books! The stories I had read as a child were being reissued so I could now share them with my daughter. We have begun reading the series together and she loves them! The storyline revolves around the Bobbsey Twins, Nan, Bert, Freddie and Flossie in their adventures which always include solving a good mystery. The storylines are clean,wholesome fun for the whole family. These books are a delight for children of all ages and a great way to share your childhood with your children and grandchildren.

The classic tales of the Bobbsey twins follow the daily life adventures of a family that has two sets of twins, one older and one younger. My 5 year old twins love these books, and we read a chapter or more to them each night. The end of each chapter has a good cliff-hanger to pique interest in the next chapter. Also, the stories are exciting and positive in nature. We started reading these chapter books when my children were 4, and they are perfect for their attention span and interests. I highly recommend them.

My daughter loved the bobbsey twins.for christmas we bought my sisters kids(who are twins)the series and They will probley love it also.I rate 4 stars because some parts of the books were as good as others.
