A review by baltimorelibrarian
The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner

2.0

I read these as a child and loved them, especially this first book. Now that I'm rereading the series to my 5-year-old, I am shocked by how terrible the writing is, and the gaping plot holes. It just demonstrates that some children's books are meant to be enjoyed by adults and children both, and some are meant to be enjoyed by children only.
