I started reading this out loud to the kids before our trip because we were going to San Francisco and I wanted them to be able to picture the places we were about to visit. I only managed to get through the first two or three chapters before our trip, but we read the rest of it in the car while driving around SF and in the Sequoias. This is definitely not the best Boxcar Children book, with the terrible twist of a surprise identical twin helping to answer who was doing what at the end, but it was perfect for our purposes--they go to Chinatown, go on the Golden Gate Bridge and down Lombard Street and to Fisherman's Wharf, they ride on a cable car, and I just wanted to get the kids excited for doing all of those things. It was great. And Dane loved it, so it was fine.
