I hope Joan doesn't mind; I'm adding some additional info she
posted on another group, about this set of textbooks:

Thanks to everyone for your input.this is indeed a set of books, each
one dealing with a different country. the fact that the German book
mentions Big Bertha is what leads me to believe the books were
published after WWI. She thinks that she read the books when she was
in the 3rd or 4th grade which would be the early 1920s.

I remember reading the "Book of Flanders" but I don't think that is
what I am looking for. I'm sorry I don't have any more information.
That's all my mother remembers. But, how many of the "facts" that we
learned as young children will we remember when we're 90? Heck, how
many do we remember now?

I'll keep looking. I have some ideas now. If I do find the books, I'll
let you know.
