Boxcar Baby

A must-read! The stories in this book will transport you to a time after World War II, when children were seen but not heard, and when needed, psychology was applied to the right end--a time when there were no telephones, televisions, cell phones, or computers, and children had to rely upon themselves to create games and play outside, a time when almost everyone in town knew your parents and had their permission to correct you if needed. And don't do anything wrong at school because your parents will know before you get home.

The stories may not be in chronological order, yet some will remind you of a time in your life when you did the same thing or wish you had. The stories are short and hilarious, covering a period in the author's life from early childhood until he graduated from high school.
