No, you are too small to go near gasoline motors, said his father. "Besides, we are not going to use the engine. We'll just push the boat along with poles from the bank. We're not going very far, but your mother thought it would be nicer to spend the night in a more open place." ... Read more

Freddie and Flossie were just the opposite of their larger brother and sister. Each was short and stout, with a fair, round face, light-blue eyes and fluffy golden hair. Sometimes Papa Bobbsey called Flossie his little Fat Fairy, which always made her laugh. But Freddie didn't want to be called a fairy, so his papa called him the Fat Fireman, which pleased him very much, and made him rush around the house shouting: "Fire! fire! Clear the track for Number Two! ... Read more

Great chapter book with good, clean fun!
The classic tales of the Bobbsey twins follow the daily life adventures of a family that has two sets of twins, one older and one younger. My 5 year old twins love these books, and we read a chapter or more to them each night. The end of each chapter has a good cliff-hanger to pique interest in the next chapter. Also, the stories are exciting and positive in nature. We started reading these chapter books when my children were 4, and they are perfect for their attention span and interests. I highly recommend them.

A magic world for a young child
This book was probably the second book I ever read as a second
grader in 1945. It took me into a mysterious and fascinating world which captivated my imagination ever since. Subsequently I read every Bobbsey Twin book I could get my hands on. Extremely well done series by an outstanding children's author. ... Read more

Good, but dull in spots
The Bobbsey Twins are helping out with the Greenwood Cup, "THE gymnastics event of the year." Nan hopes to demonstrate, and Bert, Freddie, and Flossie are filming the show. Well, the book starts to go dull at the third chapter where things start to seriously go wrong: a gold coin is stolen from one of the gymnasts, someone's lucky hair ribbons are ripped, and someone douses a contestant's leotard in perfume. Then the videos the Bobbseys were using end up stolen, and Mary Lee Chin ends up the blame for all of it. I gave the book four stars because the ending is really nice, but the middle of the book lacks something. I really thought this book could have been better than it is.

An Interesting Story
This was my first real book as a child. I didn't know about bookmarks yet, so every time I picked up this book, I started from the beginning. Soon enough, I had memorized the first chapter! I can still remember the first sentence:

"Let's have our fortunes told, Freddie!" said blond, curly-haired Flossie Bobbsey.

This was a terrific first book to read, and the Bobbsey Twins is a great way to start a big book collection. It's too bad that most are not in print anymore. ... Read more
