“Purple Hair? I Don’t Care! is the [cumulatively rhyming] story of Mrs. Della Ragon’s visit to Dr. Gray. The doctor tells Della that she is going to have a baby – but he must warn her about a few things. First of all, the baby may have purple hair. To this Della responds, “I don’t care! I’ll love my little baby anyway.” Dr. Gray proceeds to make other outrageous predictions about Della’s baby, but always her response is the same. The reader has the impression that she is in the doctor’s waiting room overhearing this exchange with the other obviously concerned patients. A surprise ending will please young readers.”

“… some of us, not just the age group for whom this book was written, would have some difficulty saying exactly what distinguishes a rabbit from a hare, or an Asian elephant from an African elephant. Explaining (and illustrating with photgraphs) these differences is the task author Dianne Young has set herself. Extra information in coloured boxes add some sauce to the substance.”
