The Railway Children Audiobook

" Ryan got bored as it took too long to get into "

" One I can come back to time and again and never get bored. I've read to the kids and to other people's kids, roll on grandchildren (but maybe not quite yet). "

" I liked this because it was a touching story about children who saved people from all sorts of things like trains, and landslides. "

" Another one of my all time favourites. I never tire of reading this charming novel! I went to Haworth in Yorkshire last year and rode on the old steam train through the station that was used to make the film of this delightful book.....it was like going on a journey into the Past....yummy stuff! CK "

" I had fun reading this to my six-year old daughter. She was captivated and managed to really pay attention despite the rambling Edwardian-era writing. I particularly liked the messages of resiliance and non-judgemental compassion. "

" Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! This had no magic aspects, and i got lost in one of the chapters "

" great books but may be tough for kids to appreciate today unless they are familiar to the classics. "

" no matter how many times I read this book, I always fall in love with it every time....... "

" A charming children's classic in the style of "Seven Little Australians" and "Five Peppers and How They Grew". A delightful story of people being generally good to each other and therefore a perfect comfort book. "

" Read as a child - loved E. Nesbit. "

" This book is our family evening reading selection. E. Nesbit is a wonderful author! We've read several of her books. I don't know how I could have not known about so many great classics when I was a kid. I might have learned to love reading sooner! "

" Lovely children's book from 1906. Rather nicely the girls are as brave and resourceful as the boys. "

" My kids and I really enjoyed this book! BBC did a fantastic job of making it into a movie as well. Edith Nesbit has quickly become a favorite in our home. "

" it's different when you reread a beloved children classic when you're already an adult (or a parent). I questioned many of the decisions the mother made in this book. but i still loved the countryside atmosphere, a bit enid blyton-ish with more sarcasm... "

" I absolutely loved this when I was a child but enjoyed it just as much when I read it to my children. "

" Read as a child - loved E. Nesbit. "

" This was the first book I ever read on my own. "

" Re-reads very well. Still a classic. "

" One of my childhood favourites, where a group of siblings share several adventures when they move to the country. "

" I have watched the film AMAZING and the book is incredible!!! The film is funny aswell "

" Good for a children's book. "

" I saw there is a play in Toronto based on this book and realized I had never read it . It is a childrens classic and I didn't want to miss out. It is quite entertaining so far "

" English children make the best of hard times and have adventures. This is comfort reading, for sure. "

" Although this is aimed for children, it shouldn't stop you reading it as an adult, it's well worth it. "

" Oh man, this was an incredible book. I read several chapters aloud to Cate and Wes but I couldn't stand to read the whole thing at their pace. I love the way this book describes "lovingkindness." It's definitely one of those favorites I only wish I'd known of sooner. "

" One of my all-time favorite children's classics. "

" A brilliant and feel good tale about the Three Chimney Children. Whilst the plot is not overly complicated and at times, a little predictable, I simply could not put this book down. "

" I began reading this aloud to my kids before bed. It's refreshing to read that children CAN use their imaginations. Reminds me that my children probably could if they turned off the nintendo. "

" Enjoyable but very old fashioned. Close to the film with a few new storylines. Enjoyed the film in this case more. "

" A story about children who do things that only children in stories ever actually do, and it is okay if you decide to confuse this with the Boxcar children. I can say the latter, because I did. "

" a sweet book with a beautiful ending "

" This was very cute and a fun classic read that I hadn't ever picked up before. It is set in England and originally published in the early 1900s so some of the customs and expressions were a challenge to understand but entertaining at the same time. "

" Pre-read for the kiddos. Loved it! "

" I love the fun adventures and the subtle moral lessons in this book. Very fun childrens book. "

" a sweet book with a beautiful ending "

" Very sweet; great bedtime reading. "

" More than the film the book gets me everytime. Each time I read it to my children almost every chapter would cause my voice to catch in my throat. "

" "Don't you think it's rather nice to think that we're in a book that God's writing? If I were writing a book, I might make mistakes. But God knows how to make the story end just right---in a way that's best for us." Mother to Peter p192 "

" good book, classic novel too... will have to read more by this author. "

" It was cool, it was fun and it ended happy. "

" re-read to pass the time "
