Growing up in the 80s we read a book series called the button hole kids or something of the sort.

I can’t seem to find what I am looking for. Anyone remember this?

Boxcar Children?

If that's not it, could you narrow it down a little with some details about what the books were about?

A discussion about the Boxcar Children is what led me to try to remember the name.

We are trying to find a good set of chapter books to start reading our oldest to work on comprehension and remembering a story line.

Mother in law suggested The Hardy Boys which is probably a little much, I then thought of The Box Car Children, which made me think of the other.

And yes a little description would likely help. I have since figured it out but I’ll see if anyone else knows and enjoyed them.

It’s stories about miniature people that find things like buttons, matchboxes, thimbles, etc from regular sized people to build their house and the like.

The Borrowers? I remember them. Ralph the Mouse was another.

You are correct and we just finished The Mouse and The Motorcycle.

The Littles (very similar to the Borrowers)
