I checked the Hardy Boy book: The Mystery of the Flying Express, out of my public library. Since it isn't in the Bookshare collection, I am planning to scan it if anyone is interested in validating it. Does anyone want to validate it? Let me know, okay?Barbara Grandma Cindy <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: The originals are pretty old, I guess. I read Nancy Drew and every Bobbsey Twins that there was. George, did you read the Hardy Boys? Also, The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew, which is in the collection. I wish the sequels were. Those of you who like good wholesome family-oriented books and would like your children to read them, download that--and perhaps scan the sequels, which I'd be happy to validate unless other people want to. I understand the Nancy Drew and Bobbsey Twins are republished in modernized versions, i.e., the language is updated and apparently some themes or ideas that are considered not politically correct are changed. I had to read Nancy Drew at friends' house for some reason I don't understand; I think my mom was afraid that they'd make me afraid, but of course they didn't. I read every Bobbsey Twins book and I don't remember anything that would be offensive today, and I did not come out of childhood with any bigotry or any ideas that people were different in any way, but...whatever helps kids to enjoy the books uncorrupted today is good.

Somehow, I thought they are really old, but perhaps not. Where can one get these?

Obviously we'll never get ALL of them done, but we can at least make a valiant effort at it. I would encourage anyone who's interested in this to scan and validate these books to help out! If you're wondering what books I'm talking about, here's a partial list of children's chapter books in series: Amber Brown, by Paula Danziger Amelia Bedelia, by Herman Parish American Girl, by various authors Animorphs, by K. A. Applegate Arthur, by Marc Brown Baby-sitter's Club and Baby-sitter's Little Sister, by Ann M. Martin Bailey School Kids, by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones Beatrix Potter Berenstain Bears, by Stan and Jan Berenstain Boxcar Children, by Gertrude Chandler Warner Cam Jansen, by David Adler Clue, Jr., by Parker C. Hinter Commander Toad, by Jane Yolen Curious George, by Margret and H. A. Rey Dr. Seuss Encyclopedia Brown, by Donald Sobol Everworld, by Katherine Applegate Hardy Boys, by Franklin W. Dixon Harry Potter, by J. K. Rowling (DONE!) How Do Dinosaurs, by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague Junie B. Jones, by Barbara Park Lemony Snicket Leven Thumps, by Obert Skye Little House, by Laura Ingalls Wilder Magic Tree House, by Mary Pope Osborne Misty of Chincoteague, by Marguerite Henry Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, by Betty MacDonald Nancy Drew, by Carolyn Keene Nate the Great, by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat Polk Street School, by Patricia Reilly Giff Ramona, by Beverly Cleary Secret World of Alex Mack, by various authors Time Warp Trio, by Jon Scieszka Trixie Belden, by Julie Campbell Winnie the Pooh, by A. A. Milne Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum I'm sure there are some childrens' series I've missed, but feel free to scan and validate those books too. Some people (like Mayrie) have been diligent in submitting these books, and I thank them very much! (And of course, if you're not interested in this, never mind...) Thanks in advance for your help!
