Reviews
"A glorious visual feast of color . . . highly recommended." --Sydney's Child Magazine on Possum and Wattle: My Big Book of Australian Words
"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
