    • Chicken wants to cross the road. His friends on the other side eat popsicles for lunch, play Duck Duck Goose and invite him to join the fun. But Chicken's fears hold him back, fears that are magnified by his parents, who screech and cluck their warnings about the hazards of crossing. Will Chicken overcome his fears? In the end, his pluck and ingenuity take the story to a smart and satisfying free-range conclusion.

    • Die Geschichte eines Landes ist immer auch die Geschichte der Menschen, die dort leben und gelebt haben. Hinterlassene Spuren sind vielerorts noch sichtbar, wobei so manche vom Lauf der Zeit teilweise oder ganz verwischt wurden. So ermöglichen uns die „Historischen Landeskunden“ heute einen beeindruckenden Rückblick in die Vergangenheit unserer Heimat. Ausführlich werden Name, Lage und Ausdehnung sowie Landschaften, Klima, Gebirge, Flüsse und Seen beschrieben. Überaus aufschlussreich sind auch die Abschnitte über Ortskunde und Bevölkerung; hier werden interessante Einblicke in Brauchtum, Sprache, Abstammung und Beschäftigung gewährt. Viele historische Bilder veranschaulichen sehr schön die spannende Entdeckungsreise in eine Zeit vor fast hundert Jahren.
