A Book Review from a Spiritridge Third Grader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The Boxcar Children: Bicycle Mystery (T.B.C.B.M.) Author: Gertrude Chandler Warner Illustrator: David Cunningham Has a dog ever adopted you? Because that's exactly what happens to the Aldens in T.B.C.B.M. Their bicycle adventure turns into a mysterious dog mystery when a small obedient Skye Terrier finds the Aldens. They name the dog Shadow because the dog follows them everywhere, just like a shadow would. They experience many adventures while they try to find Shadow's owner, including escaping dognappers. In the book, I like the part when the Aldens & Shadow are in a hotel. At night, Shadow smells smoke and decides to wake up the four children. Then the Aldens woke up the manager and the man put out the fire. That part warmed my heart. I recommend this book to 8-year-old readers who like dogs and adventures because basically, those are the two main ideas. Read all about it!

I thought this was a very good book. When the reader was reading the story I realized that the children in the book were very helpful. I think that this would be a goood book for people to read. This is a good book for children because when they read it it will help them be more respectful when they grow up. So its a good book as you can see.
My Favorite One!

I like this book because I love bycicles. It's neat how they go back and see things they saw in other books. And I wish my dog acted like the little dog Shadow, whom the boxcar children found. It was fun finding out whose dog it was! I would deffinantly recommend this book to anyone, and especially to boxcar children fans. READ THIS BOOK!
