‘Nothing better in the way of a minor prize for girl or boy could be chosen than one or 
more of this dainty little series of books about wild flowers. In these bright and pleasant 
pages the children are taken by the hand by ‘Uncle Matt’—a character cheerily and sympatheti- 
cally impersonated by Dr Cooke—and led on various rambles around the neighbourhood of the 
home or holiday centre, however it may be imagined, in search of wild flowers. These when 
found are made a note of, with picture and in merry chat; and so, besides getting a good time 
generally, the young people pick up a great deal of elementary knowledge of botany. . . . 
Uncle Matt knows exactly what to expect on each occasion, and when he has found a flower he 
knows all about it, though he manages to put his knowledge in such a pleasant way that it doesn’t 
seem like teaching at all. And he doesn’t try too many things at once, but lets the children 
talk—as children love to do—as well as listen. With such company a country holiday or a 
country walk unfolds new and undreamed of possibilities of pleasure.” —School Board Chronicle. 
‘The author aims at writing such books as shall prove interesting as well as amusing to 
little folk, and he is avowedly careful in his use of scientific terms and long names, lest, by 
their excessive use, he should disgust his readers. Those who like reliable information con- 
veyed in an informal manner should appreciate Dr Cooke’s style.”— Gardeners’ Chronicle.
