Summary: The Bobbsey Twins Are Back
Review: I grew up in the late 1960's when you could purchase the Bobbsey Twins books at the S.S.Kresge dimestore chain. The books were inexpensive, wholesome fun. I went through my cousin's copies like a tiny tornado. I was disappointed when the 1960's edition books were no longer available for print in the late 1970's early 1980's.
Imagine my delight while shopping at our local Walmart with my daughter when I spied a display of the Classic Edition Bobbsey Twins books! The stories I had read as a child were being reissued so I could now share them with my daughter. We have begun reading the series together and she loves them! These books are a delight for children of all ages and a great way to share your childhood with your children and grandchildren.

Summary: Out of date and race problems
Review: I remember reading the Bobbsey Twins books when I was seven, so when I babysat the other night, I was pleased when the seven year old there sat down and started to read this outloud to me. The text itself is just challenging enough for kids of that age, but what I had TOTALLY forgotten about was the whole fact that in the book, while there are black people, they're all household help or holding menial jobs. I'm not black, and I found this all very offputting when I started to re-read the book after the kid had gone to bed. I think it gives a very skewed view of how things were, and certainly of how things are, and I wholeheartedly can't recommend these books to anyone.

Summary: Great chapter book with good, clean fun!
Review: 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.
