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!
The storyline revolves around the Bobbsey Twins, Nan, Bert, Freddie and Flossie in their adventures which always include solving a good mystery. The storylines are clean,wholesome fun for the whole family.
These books are a delight for children of all ages and a great way to share your childhood with your children and grandchildren.

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.

Our six-year-old grandson loves to have this book series read to him. Now he is learning to read chapter headings and some of the text himself. These books are perfect for stimulating his intellectual side.

Over 50 years ago, I read my first Bobbsey Twins book and was hooked. I loved to read and couldn't wait to get my hands on the next one. I had forgotten about them until I was browsing Amazon.com and came across the Children's Books section. Not having children of my own, I wondered who I would be able to share the pleasure of reading the Bobbsey Twins series with. I have good friends with a 9 year old daughter and a 7 year old son who were perfect to share the gift of reading with. For Christmas and birthdays, I like to give the next book in the series to Baylee and I Spy books to Eli. In my mind, there is nothing like a good book!

I bought this for my six-year-old daughter who reads on a fourth grade level. The Bobbsey Twins content is appropriate for her age, while still providing her with a read on her level. Her twin who reads on level is even trying to read it, and they both enjoy the story.

I received the book in a timely manner; all pretty and brand new.
I haven't read it yet.
I wanted it for a keepsake.
When I was in the fourth grade I read the most books that year and won an edition of the Bobsey Twins and loved them ever since.

My daughter loved the bobbsey twins.for christmas we bought my sisters kids(who are twins)the series and They will probley love it also.I rate 4 stars because some parts of the books were as good as others.

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.
