Bookoftheworm Aug 15, The Peterkins are a rather unusual family living somewhere in New England Massachusetts, I think, as Boston is mentioned with some regularity.

The family consists of Mr. Peterkin and their children, Agamemnon, Elizabeth Eliza, Solomon John, and the three little boys with their ubiquitous India-rubber boots. The family is always having humorous adventures and problems while trying to accomplish simple tasks of daily living. I enjoyed The Peterkin Papers very much, although I didn't find them as laugh-out-loud funny now as I did when I read them in elementary school.

The book, which is a collection of short stories, is intended for children, and although it's over years old, I think today's children will still see the humor in the situations in which the Peterkins find themselves. The book also provides a window into how people lived in the late s. My only criticism is that as an adult, I realize that as silly as the Peterkins are, it's a wonder they manage to stay alive.

Perhaps it's really too good for them. Bpolybius Jul 18, I remember our teacher reading this book to us in the first grade. We laughed so hard! Full of silly incidents in the lives of the Peterkins, this makes a great read aloud book for the family.

The Peterkin family are simple and kind, and always need help solving their nonsense problems. It's fun reading, but I was excited to know the book when I read a reference to it in Anne Morrow Lindberg's diaries. The humorous adventures of a foolish family whose problems are righted by the Lady from Philadelphia. Home Groups Talk Zeitgeist.
