This book is from a series of books about a girl from America that tells about her life in the year 1904. We hear about her birthday plans and her actual birthday as well as her visit to New York with her Grandmother to visit family. We hear how her Grandmother at first does not like it that women are public speaking in the parks in New York city about having the right to vote and then we find out what had changed her mind. Samantha Parkington is a wealthy orphan living with her Grandmary at the turn of the century. Agnes and Agatha, the younger sisters of Cornelia, are visiting Samantha for her tenth birthday celebration. Energetic and full of ideas, the twins are not always circumspect. Eddie Ryland, the pesky next door neighbor, ruins the homemade ice cream which casts a shadow over Samantha's party. The twins invite Samantha for a New York visit; in the big city the girls have an adventure with Jip, a lively puppy, and learn about the Suffragists and women's rights. The "Looking Back" section explores growing up in 1904. Families with wealth may have had a nanny and a nursery for their children. Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz were widely read. Checkers and dominoes were popular games. In 1904 the personal development and the need of playtime for children were being recognized. This book is the fourth in the Samantha series. This is a double of a book in my classroom library. Samantha’s bithday is filled with a series of minor mishaps. She and Grandmary visit Uncle Gard and Aunt Cornelia in New York City where Grandmary’s views on progress and Aunt Cornelia’s clash. Grandmary hears Aunt Cornelia talk about suffrage for women at a rally and changes her mind about progress. Samantha’s bithday is filled with a series of minor mishaps.
