when I was in third grade many many moons ago the teacher would read us a chapter every week it was about a family of children who lived in a railroad car and their adventures but I wish I knew the name of it. Thanks

Was it The Boxcar Children, and How They Grew? or something like that? :D:D:D

I read the Boxcar Children, and the Bobbsey Twins at about the same time... I hadn't thought about the Boxcar Children in years :D
We talked here a while ago about the Bobbsey Twins and some other older favorites... however did we miss this one? :D:D:D

it was the Boxcar children. :) I have all of mine from when I was little and I'm reading them to my daughter. :)

It was the boxcar children. There were a series of these books written by American writer and first-grade school teacher, Gertrude Chandler Warner.

Yes, these are still published under her name and now there are updated ones. Even in graphic (comic) novel style. Kids still like them.

That's one I missed out on. Sounds like a neat series!
