For the carrot tops, this likeable story in red- orange and green with a pat text, is about Janey and how red hair is. Janey tells it herself and the interest mounts as she goes for a visit to a farm and finds increasing numbers of red things around her- apples, a dog, the sun, her friend Tony's hair. Bright's knack with pictures too, has made natural reds humorously prominent here. -Kirkus

It tells of how Michael and his little horseman, Freddie, watched the procession and the Queen in her coach drive by on their way to Westminster Abbey. Here, printed in bright red and black, are the London bobbies, the foot guards, the soldiers, and finally the royal coach and the Queen. Here are the people who watched on that exciting rainy day. Here is London as Michael and Freddie saw it. And here, most important of all, is Freddie, who practically managed the entire affair. It is a gay and jolly picture book that registers for all time an historic event. -Mary Gould Davis for The Saturday Review of Literature.

"The Middle Ages and the days of chivalry are relit with wit in a fine funny retelling of the bucketmaker's apprentice anecdote from Mark Twain's I Trip Abroad. After Princess Rossile's latest armored suitor has perished at the maw and flame of the dragon the king wants killed, Richard, ever staying up all hours and inventing things in his bucket shop, extinguishes the dragon with his Secret Dragon Weapon- an air pressure fire extinguisher, and wins fame and the Princess. The author's suggestive drawings are laughable representations of surprise people, knights, pails and dragons. -Kirkus Review"

A portrait of a child striving to retain a desperate illusion, as 13-year old Lisa, growing older, strains to believe in the security of her parents' marriage. Daughter of a painter, Michael, and of a devoted mother, Margaret, Lisa's comfortable world is threatened when Michael's reputation is promoted by lion-collector, Agnes. Conflict is reflected in the child, who learns that things are better when there is less money, less of the lurid light of success; she rebels, tries not to conform, runs away from school and ultimately provides reconciliation motif in near-death from pneumonia. The extroverted, foreign group of artists in contrast to the local inhabitants of a French fishing village; Michael's charm, Margaret's winning goodwill, Lisa's unconscious revelations -- these from a basis for a novel in sharp contrast to the author's regional novel, Life and Death of Little Joe. The new book shows a certain advance in ability to portray character in opposition to circumstance. -Kirkus Review
