How do these books compare to the "Twin Series," I wonder? Do you know?

Alexandra said...

I think they are fairly similar. If I find any more information, I'll post it here.

Eva said...

Thank you!

It took me a while to remember, but I'm pretty sure the "Cousins Series" is not graded and is geared toward early elementary. The "Twin Series" is graded. I found the graded list, if you are interested.

Hello, Alexandra, actually, I thougt the twin series was graded too. I got an old copy of one of the twin books from our college library and I'm pretty sure they had a list about the grades and the corresponding book in the back. The library is closed right now, but I could check the book next week. I would be very interested in the list for the cousin series! Thanks for checking.

Alexandra said...

Okay, I'll list the list. ;)I think the highest grade is grade five.

I'll also check on the "Cousins Series".

Here is the Twins graded list:

I couldn't find any grading for the "Cousins", but if you find one, please share. :) I'll list it here for others. I did find more "Cousins" books when I searched Google Books. I think I'll start a post with links to them all. It will take a while. I think there are over 80! I plan to get a Kindle soon, and it would be so nice to have a library of these for my daughter.

Maybe our library also has the "cousin" books. I'll check this week.

Alexandra, I haven't been able to find the "Our Cousin" books, but I found a slightly different list of recommended ages for the "Twin Books":

The Dutch Twins Primer Grade 1
The Dutch Twins Grade 3
The Eskimo Twins Grade 2
The Filipino Twins Grade 4
The Japanese Twins Grade 4
The Swiss Twins Grade 4
The Italian Twins Grades 5 and 6
The Scotch Twins Grades 5 and 6
The Mexican Twins Grade 6
The Belgian Twins Grade 6
The French Twins Grade 7
The Cave Twins Grade 4
The Spartan Twins Grades 5 and 6
The Puritan Twins Grades 6 and 7

My list is from the original book "The Dutch Twins" from 1911.

You are welcome! (I hadn't forgotten.)
