About the Author

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car—just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books—a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children® series has more than one hundred books.

Editorial Reviews

"Aimee Lilly's performance of this installment in the Boxcar Children series will engage the young super-sleuth in one's life. The Alden children are at it again. The Wundermutt Dog Food company is searching for a new "spokesdog" to star in its television commercials. The Aldens believe that their family dog, Watch, has what takes to be that star. Narrator Lilly provides a diverse range of vocal characterizations. Young listeners will be amply entertained by her high-energy delivery. Parents are cautioned that this listening experience may cause their children to develop an intense desire to listen to other Boxcar Children audiobooks."
