"It is Bancroft's paintings that make the greatest impression."
--"School Library Journal" on "Sun Mother Wakes the World"
"Using a mixture of techniques from her Aboriginal background and
her own artistic creativity, Bancroft entices children to count
from one to 15 as they view an array of Australian animals
cavorting on brightly colored pages . . . The boldly outlined
animals filled with dotted designs are strikingly placed in each
spread." --"Kirkus Reviews" on "An Australian 1, 2, 3 of Animals"
