The original 1924 edition of The Box-Car Children, with its colorful illustrations, was the beginning of a legacy of books created by American author Gertrude Chandler Warner. The wildly popular series has continued to thrive through more 150 different books and a Hollywood animated film adaptation. Follow four children -- Henry, Jess, Violet, and Benny -- as they live in an old abandoned boxcar in the middle of the woods. Concerned that they will be forced to live with their "mean" grandfather, they use their wits to hide from the authorities, create a warm loving home, and have an adventure of a lifetime! Enjoyed by millions of children and adults over the years, this book is a classic to revisit again and again. (Note to educators: Whether your students read independently or they follow along as you read to them aloud, this special edition will enable them to enjoy the story while observing critical word and sound patterns that facilitate improvements in their reading skills.)
