Author Notes

Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in 1890 in Putnam, Connecticut, where she taught school and wrote The Boxcar Children because she had often imagined how delightful it would be to live in a caboose or freight car. Encouraged by the book's success, she went on to write eighteen more stories about the Alden children.

School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-Relying on the popularity of the "Boxcar Children" chapter books, this series features the same characters, but is written in a toned-down, easy-reader style. This one tells the story of Sam, a two-year-old who visits the Boxcar household. The little boy tends to get into trouble, from spilling his cereal to locking himself in the bathroom. Sam's inability to use language correctly is overdone and becomes annoying, and the illustrations are average. A marginal purchase.-Anne Knickerbocker, Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
