Four siblings use their imagination to turn a boxcar into a home in this Little Golden Book adaptation of the beloved classic from 1924, with beautiful new illustrations!
The Alden children—Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny—don't want to live with the grandfather they've never met. Instead, they run away and make a perfect little home inside an old boxcar. This Little Golden Book edition of Gertrude Chandler Warner's classic story The Boxcar Children is the perfect way to introduce young readers to the beloved story about family, adventure, and resourcefulness.
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.
