I remember reading the Bobbsey Twins books when I was little. I felt compelled to buy this book when I ran across it a few years ago.
Not only do I remember reading the series, but I remember reading this very book. I remember the kids making “pasteboard” houses and wondering what pasteboard was and wanting to make some of these houses and asking my mom to help me do this and actually doing it. (Crazy, right?!)
It would be an interesting exercise to read this aloud to children and see what they find odd about the story. There are some elements—sexism, racism—that are sadly apparent to me in ways I didn't notice when I was little. But many parts of the story—bullying, kids getting lost—are still things that children deal with today.
