Today in the library I introduced the Kindergarten to a transitional series of books that are perfect for emergent and beginning readers. Those of you with older children (or even YOU, yourself) might remember the beloved chapter book series the Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warren. Over one hundred! books are contained in this classic children’s series that brings to life the adventures of the Alden family. While The Boxcar Children series are targeted for readers in primary grades, there is a wonderful Early Reader set published in the 1990s that we have in the library. These are located under the window seat in the Meerkat Burrow area of the library.
Features that make this series perfect for the Kindergarten include vivid colorful illustrations, larger print and simplified plot.
We shared the first two books in the series today. If you’re looking for a new classic, check out the Boxcar Children Early Readers!
