"Another book written for American children in the early 1900's to help educate them about the customs and lives of their 'cousins' in many parts of the world. Naturally the cultures described are as they might have been at the end of the 1800's. "Washed by the Mediterranean and kissed by the warm Southern sun, the Iberian peninsula lies at the southwestern corner of Europe. To this sunny land of Spain we owe much for, from it's hospitable shores, aided by her generous queen, Columbus saided to discover that new world which is today our home. We should be very friendly to the country which helped him and American boys and girls should welcome the coming of Our Little Spanish cousin." (Summary by the author's Preface)"
"In " Our Little Canadian Cousin," the author's intention is to tell, in a general way and in one defined local setting, the story of Canadian home life in the late 19th century. To Canadians, home life means not merely sitting at a huge fire-place, or brewing and baking in a wide country kitchen, or dancing of an evening, or teaching, or sewing ; but it means the great outdoor life — sleighing, skating, snow-shoeing, hunting, canoeing, and, above all, " camping out " — the joys that belong to a vast, uncrowded country, where there is " room to play." (Summary from the Author's foreword)"
"This is the story of Peter Rabbit, a mischievous, but cautious, lagomorph who lives in the Green Meadows. Peter Rabbit begins his adventures with a quest for a new name, since his name is far too common for his taste. Having a new name is not quite what he thought it would be, however, and soon he is on to new exploits like outsmarting Reddy Fox and discovering where all his friends spend the winter. This tale co-stars Reddy Fox, Jerry Muskrat, Unc' Billy Possum, Jimmy Skunk, Ol' Mistah Buzzard, Bowser the Hound, and many more of Thornton W. Burgess' delightful characters. Summary by Jill Engle"
