I can remember growing up my sister and I use to love these books (these and Nancy Drew) Does anyone else remember Bert and Nan, Freddie and Flossie, Snoop and Snap the pets?

I mostly read Hardy Boys books, but I read some Nancy Drew (dare I admit that?  ;D) and I did read some Bobbsey Twins as well, maybe just one or two of their books.

We had ALL of those: The Bobbsey Twins, The Hardy Boys, & Nancy Drew. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have the complete collection of all of them. As for reading them-I didn't because they were above my reading level at the time and by the time I could read them-they were given away/sold. Today, they would be worth quite a bit.

I had a great deal going with my childhood's best friend's brother. He liked the Hardy Boys so I would bring him a book, and he would pay me a dime. (Big bucks in those days to a 7 year old). When he was done with the book, he would give it back to me, I would get him another one and he would pay me another dime. The thing was, I would have just lent him the books but he offered to pay me and who am I to refuse him if he really wanted to pay me.  ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D

I went to my father's house and asked my sister what she did with all our old books and she said oh I got rid of them, I thought I was going to be sick, we had some books that we got passed down from my mom and grandmother that were written in the 1800's.

Bobbsey Twins, The Boxcar Children, Snipp Snapp and Snurr, Flicka Ricka and Dicka  :)

I remember the Boxcar Children series. I read a few of those as a kid.

I still, in the back of my mind, think it would be fun.  Then again, my house is about the size of a boxcar.

I even thought about that as a kid. Of course, those kids, I believe, were orphaned at the start of the series and went out to find the home of their grandpa.
