“Katrina and Jan are two quaint Dutch children living in Holland, described in ‘The Green Tulip’ as ‘the loveliest, strangest, pleasantest land on earth.’ They first meet a green fairy who is crying for a green tulip. So Katrina and Jan start out to find the green tulip for the grieving fairy. In their search, the pair have some funny adventures. The illustrations are as delightfully Dutch as a windmill or one of Franz Hals’s pictures.”—Post Express, Rochester, N.Y.
“‘The Green Tulip’—A fairy tale of Holland by Gilly Bear and published by Saml. Gabriel Sons & Company. Another clever and attractive bit of reading for the quite young juvenile. The illustrations done by Frances Brundage are in themselves ample commendation for this charming book for the Christmas list. The world of fairyland is put under tribute to furnish the theme. Holland is made the setting and the talented co-workers in author and artist offer one of the most pleasing numbers in the Gilly Bear series, as a result of their deft workmanship. There is a world of diversion in following the fortunes of Katrina and Jan in sailing down ‘the Laziest Canal’ and in stopping, ‘but not too long,’ in the village of None-May-Care, in which ‘nobody thinks very hard.’”—The Dispatch, Columbus, Ohio.
“The vogue of bed-time stories is continually broadening and the demand for new books of this character naturally increases as the holiday season approaches. To meet it, Saml. Gabriel Sons & Company have just issued three attractive new works calculated to fire the imagination of ‘Youngest America.’ The first of this series, ‘Tom Tit Tales,’ contains a series of entertaining stories to be told ‘just before the Sandman comes.’ The second, ‘The Green Tulip,’ is a fairy tale built around the adventures of two little Dutch children in search of a fairy tulip. The third, entitled ‘Fun in the Forest,’ tells in a charming way the life and adventure of animals in the field and forest. All three books are embellished with attractive colored plates.”—The Examiner, Chicago.
“Three attractive books for the little children, which will interest the early Christmas shopper, are ‘Tom Tit Tales,’ ‘The Green Tulip’ and ‘Fun in the Forest.’ The stories are by Gilly Bear and originally appeared in a New York newspaper. The books are freely illustrated and the tales are just what children enjoy.”—The Call, San Francisco.
