This book tells us the story of the Peters family, immigrants to the United States from a small village in Germany. It describes the father’s decision to move the family’s preparation to move, how they get to Nebraska, and how they live in America. At the end, the book skips 150 years to show Bob and Maggie’s descendants going back to Germany to see their family’s roots. I thought this book was interesting because it showed us how much changed in those 150 years.

A blend of fiction and nonfiction depicts two generations of a family, separated by 150 years, depicting a forthright account of the 19th-century German immigrant experience.

Great series about different baby animals in their first year. Very informative stories, and there is additional information about the animal in question in the back. Appealing, realistic artwork. Very cute story about a real issue with polar bears seeking out towns.
