My aunt found them in her stuff - I had lent them to my cousin way back when. I loved those books - I devoured them!

All the rest of mine were destroyed in a house fire.

When I was in first grade one of my presents was the first 3 Bobbsey Twins books, which was my introduction to series reading. I have been a big lover of series ever since.

Bobbsey Twins have also undergone a metamorphosis and been "modernized" . Not an improvement.

agree! I'm not a fan of the newer version. Best place to find them:probably yard sales, resale shops yellowdogintexas Nov 2022 #10
