Today in the library, I introduced 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 books series, The Boxcar Children, by Gertrude Chandler Warren. Over 100 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, this is a wonderful early reader set published in the 1990s that we have in the library. The set is located under the window seat in the meerkat burrow area of the library. Features that make this set perfect for Kindergarten include vivid, colorful illustrations, larger print and simplified plot.
We shared the first book in the series today. If you’re looking for a new twist on a classic children’s book, check out The Boxcar Children early readers set.
Happy Reading!
