This was one of the more ridiculous early Boxcar Children books (not as crazy as Houseboat/Caboose but up there). This one would have made more sense if the kids were alone.

The Boxcar Children = most read series between the ages of 6 and 9 for me. I think of these fondly. Every child should read this series.
