New York Independent says: “Yan Phou Lee was one of the young men sent
to this country to be educated here, and finally matriculated at Yale,
where he graduated with honor. ‘When I was a Boy in China’ embodies his
recollections of his native country. It is certainly attractive, with
more room for nature to operate and play in freely than is generally
attributed to Chinese life.”

The story of two brothers and two sisters who are as noble in character
as they are enthusiastic in play. The authors have drawn wholesome
child-life with remarkable effect, and this book will win a conspicuous
place for that reason. Everyone will be interested in the fine
scholarship of Larry, the jolly spirits of Gwen, and the tenderness of
little Polly. And when finally Billy, well-meaning and awkward Billy,
actually wins a prize in a most unexpected way, the charm of the story
is complete. Miss Bruce has well caught the spirit of the story in her
illustrations, and with its merry-looking cover, large, clear print,
good paper and broad margins, this is exactly the book to choose for
young boys and girls.
“The authors have woven a clever juvenile tale, portraying child-life
with that truth that will appeal to the young reader.”--_Providence
News._
“The story is happily told, and presents a pretty picture of vigorous
and wholesome American child-life.”--_Indianapolis Sentinel._
“The story is a charming one, and the whole ‘get up’ of the book
suits the contents.”--_Episcopal Recorder, Philadelphia._
“The adventures of two brothers and two sisters are happily told.
They are funny, pathetic, and always lead the child reader or hearer
to think of the real happiness of the dutiful and unselfish traits of
character.”--_New York Observer._
“The book is natural and wholesome, and its attractive appearance in
pictures and type will make it a favorite with children.”--_Portland
Express._
