Book Excerpt: 
. . .Go back, sir!" exclaimed Papa Bobbsey in stern tones.

The dog stopped wagging his tail. Then he sat down on the path, and calmly waited. Mr. Bobbsey walked toward him.

"Oh, don't—don't whip him, papa!" exclaimed Flossie.

"I don't intend to," said Mr. Bobbsey. "But I must be stern with him or he will think I'm only playing. Go back!" he cried.

The dog stretched out on the path, his head down between his fore paws.

"He—he looks—sad," said Freddie. "Maybe he hasn't any home, papa."

"Oh, of course a valuable dog like that has a home," declared Bert.

"But maybe they didn't treat him kindly, and he is looking for a new one," suggested Nan, hopefully.

"He doesn't seem illtreated," spoke Mrs. Bobbsey. "Oh, I do wish he'd go back, so we could go on."

I started to read this book to my granddaughter , who is 6. She loves stories that have adventure and people doing things from everyday life. But after the first few pages I came to realize that this story was not appropriate for her age as it had been for me at age 8, 57 years ago when I first met

Another good Bobbsey Twins book. I am sooo enjoying these books from my childhood.

The Bobbsey's train has a problem on the way home from the seashore and almost runs into another train that has come off the tracks. A circus train. They loose a silver cup and their cat Snoop and while walking to catc

There is a review here on Goodreads that says "Dinah's entire character hasn't aged well and is racist". Hi, I'm a 22 year old white lady and I agree entirely with Dinah on the subject of freshly mopped floors. I am very saddened to find out that caring about your work and having the authority to se

Our family loved this for a read-aloud. The boys were very excited to read the next Bobbsey book!

The action in 'The Bobbsey Twins at School' revolves not only around time at school but also around activities that take place outside schooldays when the Bobbsey children are relaxing and enjoying themselves - or otherwise - with friends and family.

Bert and Nan and younger brother and sister Freddi

Not one of the better ones in the first half of the series (the first half being the better half of the series). The adults seem especially dense in this one.

P.S. I see different editions have the twins at different ages. In the "purple" editions which I read Nan and Bert are 12 and Freddie and Flos

I see that there is an alternate title for this work, "The Bobbsey Twins Mystery at School" and wonder if it underwent a rewrite at some point after the original publication in 1913. One hopes so; as it stands this instalment isn't up to much. It's basically a filler, with all the interesting things

Another cute tale in the Bobbsey series, this one seeing them at the beginning of a school year.

The adventures begin when their train is delayed by another train's wreck -- a train that belongs go a circus. The Bobbseys' cat, Snoop, disappears in the hubbub ... and they find a dog, Snap, who does a
