"There is but one 'Uncle Remus,' and he will never grow old.... It was a happy thought, that of marrying the work of Harris and Frost."—New York Mail and Express.
"Nobody could possibly have done this work better than Mr. Frost, whose appreciation of negro life fitted him especially to be the interpreter of 'Uncle Remus,' and whose sense of the humor in animal life makes these drawings really illustrations in the fullest sense. Mr. Harris's well-known work has become in a sense a classic, and this may be accepted as the standard edition."—Philadelphia Times.
"A book which became a classic almost as soon as it was published.... Mr. Frost has never done anything better in the way of illustration, if indeed he has done anything as good."—Boston Advertiser.
"We pity the reader who has not yet made the acquaintance of 'Uncle Remus' and his charming story.... Mr. Harris has made a real addition to literature purely and strikingly American, and Mr. Frost has aided in fixing the work indelibly on the consciousness of the American reader."—The Churchman.
"The old fancies of the old negro, dear as they may have been to us these many years, seem to gain new life when they appear through the medium of Mr. Frost's imagination."—New York Home Journal.
"In his own peculiar field 'Uncle Remus' has no rival. The book has become a classic, but the latest edition is the choice one. It is rarely riven to an author to see his work accompanied by pictures so closely in sympathy with his text."—San Francisco Argonaut.
"We say it with the utmost faith that there is not an artist who works in illustration that can catch the attitude and expression, the slyness, the innate depravity, the eye of surprise, obstinacy, the hang of the head or the kick of the heels of the mute and the brute creation as Mr. Frost has shown to us here."—Baltimore Sun.
