Basically, the story was about four orphaned children who made a home for themselves in a boxcar in the forest. I thought it was a great story. This may not be saying much for me, but this story has stuck with me all these years.
Since I didn't purchase the book, I didn't remember the cover until I Googled it. There are several different covers out there, because this book was written in 1924 and republished and republished. However, I like the cover shown here. I really liked the line above the title, which serves as a track for the train. I think it's cute. The cover looks like a painting, so you know it's a classic. I don't even want to imagine a cover redesign in 2013. Who knows --the kids would probably have iPhones or steal one and some Jordans. Anything goes nowadays!
But I should purchase this book and maybe one day read it to my kids or somebody's kids.
