| The romp with the King of France is a sophisticated delight...When Papa and his brood are invited to a royal picnic, he suffers the ultimate embarrassment, but the king regally transforms Papa's faux pas into a merry and unforgettable day. Wilson's inimitable, witty ryhymed couplets are charmingly enhanced by Stock's lighthearted watercolors." ~ Joanna Kraus, Bay Area News Group |
| "When a young boy is invited to picnic with the King of France, all his family join in. So, his three aunts, proud papa, and two big dogs travel across the country to dine with the King. How does the whole party end up in underpants? You'll have to read 'The Day We Danced in Underpants' to find out! This hilarious title is published by Tricycle Press..." ~ Amy Downing, TDmonthly Magazine |
| "...Poor Papa's pants almost survive the trip from his home to the palace where he and his family have been invited to picnic with the King of France. But the twirling and skipping and fried-egg heat of the journey take their toll, and when Papa tries "to take his chair.../BRRRRRRRPT! /we heard a thunderous tear!" ...Wilson's easy rhyming text is amusing, and Stock's now-signature watercolor and sketchy pen-and-ink pictures are comic and cunning. (Look for crown-wearing cows and kitties and Puss-in-Boots among the courtiers)...a colorful summertime beat-the-heat story- and what child can resist a story about skivvies?
