Target completion date:

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Greetings -

I need to correct something missing in my life.

I have never read a Bobbsey Twins book.

What better way than to DPL this one if you still need one.

Welcome aboard, Lomond! Thank you! I have read a few sections in a Bobbsey Twins book and completed one as a solo. They are charming children's stories.

Greetings -

Chapters 1 and 2 are easily PL OK and are now listed as such on the MW.

Nicely read!

All these years I never realized there were two sets of twins until I started to DPL this book. I wonder how I didn't...
