Although I'm not a reader and have never read about the boxcar kids, it sounds like I've missed some great fun. How lucky you are to have fallen into the kind of job where you can have your cake and eat it as well. Lovely story as always.....Kath

I heartily applaud anything with value that can get kids to read instead of just watching TV or playing video games. I grew up on a farm as a child and had little time to read, but somehow I did find time. We had a set of books called My Book House that were a great treasure to me, containing not only the Mother Goose tales, but King Arthur stories and Gulliver Travels and other such gems.
