Himler's beautiful, understated paintings show the train steaming across the prairie and the children trying to smile and look their best, hoping that someone will adopt them."--ALA "Booklist" Editor's Choice.

Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
This is a fantastic book to introduce young children (grade 2 and up) to historical fiction. You can use this book as a follow up in teaching about the industrial revolution in America as well as imigration and the problems many families faced. After reading this captivating book with great illustrations you can do a follow up activity by reading letters and diary entries (found on the internet) of orphans who actually rode the orphan trains in the late 1800's. This was a captivating story for my third graders.
