The Boxcar Children Cookbook is perfect for children to begin their own journeys in the kitchen. With simple recipes made of common and basic ingredients, and a full list of kitchen utensils needed to complete the job, kids can make these good-tasting meals for themselves, their families, and their friends.
If your kids love The Boxcar Children books, they'll especially love eating like Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. The unique experience of connecting with the beloved Boxcar Children over food is enough to make these meals special...it helps even the youngest ones to eat without a fight!
I highly recommend that you and your kids read at least one of Gertrude Chandler Warner's books along with this cookbook, or a significant portion of what makes this cookbook so special is lost.

The interpolated telling is one of the most unique presentations of a story I've ever read. It was fascinating to read about an event or activity from two completely different perspectives, from two men who are (in many ways) polar opposites on the American spectrum.
If this was a work of fiction, it wouldn't have nearly the impact - but because Denver and Ron are real men, I experienced a great deal of sympathy for each as he told his version of the story. Each of them allowed me look inside his head and heart as he recounted his thoughts and feelings about a particular occurrence.
Definitely a worthwhile read - especially for those who know nothing of the lifestyle of those living in the extremest poverty available in America today. My vicarious experience of that world through Denver's words was truly eye-opening for me.
