The Boxcar Children

I like the Boxcar Children books, especially book number 1 when they live in the boxcar. I borrowed this old wooden box from my mom to play The Boxcar Children. It's rainy and I'm sick with the flu, so this is a fun, quiet thing to play.

The Land of Counterpane

by Robert Louis Stevenson

When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay,
To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.

I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.
