Bluebonnets For Lucinda

the long version

Frances Clarke Sayers grew up in Texas and somehow she has managed to put its beauty and friendliness into the background of her story. She writes well--simply, but with a sure rhythm. To the children, Lucinda's story with the music box and the nice old friends, the geese and the bouquet of bluebonnets, will be a fresh and gay adventure to know by heart after a few hearings and then tell to themselves over and over as they turn the pages for the lovely pictures.
